Irish Soda Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 3 1/2 TSP Baking Powder
- 1 TSP Baking Soda
- 1 TSP Salt
- 1 ¼ - 1 ½ cups Yogurt plain unsweetened
- 1 TBS Olive Oil vegetable oil works fine as well
- 1 TBS Honey
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
Add the yogurt, oil, and honey to the bowl and mix well. You may need to use your hands to get all of the ingredient incorporated completely.
-
Flour a clean counter-top and knead the Irish Soda Bread dough slightly for about 30 seconds. Form into a nice round shape. Grease a cake pan and place the round dough into the center of pan. Cut a shallow X shape on the top of the round dough using a sharp knife or bread knife. Bake the bread at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes.

Serve warm! Top with butter once you remove from the oven or your favorite jam.
**Fun Facts! – Irish Soda Bread began popping up in the mid-19th century when baking soda first became available for use as a raising agent. Easier and cheaper than traditional yeast. Also, traditional recipes call for buttermilk. However, in some recipes, the buttermilk is replaced by live yogurt (as I did here) or even stout. Which is on my to-do list!
Happy Baking!

January 14, 2016 at 2:21 pmI am making this bread right now. Is the dough supposed to be like cake batter consistency? Because that is how mine is and I followed the ingredients. I’ve never made soda bread I am used to making yeast bread.
