Cinnamon Carrot Soda Bread
Description
Cinnamon Carrot Soda Bread combines wholewheat and all-purpose flours with baking soda for a leavening boost and ground cinnamon for spice. Grated carrot adds moisture and subtle sweetness, enhanced by maple syrup and raisins scattered throughout. Buttermilk activates the baking soda to help the bread rise quickly without yeast, resulting in a tender and slightly dense crumb. The dough is shaped into a round loaf with a cross cut atop to allow even baking, then dusted with flour and baked until golden brown. The bread has a soft center and a crisp crust, making it suitable for breakfast, snacks, or as a side with savory dishes.
To make homemade buttermilk, add lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to milk and let it sit before mixing. Vegan versions of the bread can use non-dairy milk as a substitute for buttermilk. Baking time ranges from about 25 to 35 minutes, and the loaf sounds hollow when done.
Ingredients
- 1 cup wholewheat flour wholemeal flour, 150g
- 1 cup all-purpose flour plain flour, 150 g
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (bicarb of soda)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425F (220C) and grease a baking sheet with a little oil.
- Sift both flours, baking soda, cinnamon and salt into a large mixing bowl, and add any remaining wholemeal from the sieve back into the bowl. Stir in the raisins and carrot and combine. Add the buttermilk and maple syrup and mix until it forms a dough.
- Pat the dough into a round and place onto the greased baking sheet. Cut a cross across the top with a knife and sprinkle a little flour onto the top.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes or until the top is golden and taping the bottom of the carrot soda bread makes a hollow sound. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- Make buttermilk by adding 1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to milk and letting it stand for 5 minutes before use.
- For a vegan version, substitute buttermilk with non-dairy milk alternatives.
- Check doneness by tapping the bread's bottom; a hollow sound indicates it is fully baked.
