Irish Soda Bread
Report
Irish Soda Bread is a quick bread that uses baking soda as a leavening agent and doesn't require any yeast. It has a bit of sweetness in the bread that balances out the baking soda and buttermilk. The bread has a soft, biscuit-like texture that is perfect for soaking up butter!

Notes
- Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe. The butter should be cool enough that it dents when pressed but shouldn't be warm or smooshy.
- Sugar: This bread is a little sweeter than other versions that I've tried. If you would like a less sweet bread, cut the sugar back to 1/4-1/3 cup.
- Vanilla: While untraditional, it does add a little something to the bread. Feel free to omit it if you prefer.
- Flour: To properly measure the flour either weigh the flour or sift or stir the flour to break it up, lightly spoon into the measuring up, and level. Avoid packing in the flour to avoid a heavy loaf.
- Buttermilk: If you don't have buttermilk, you can make an easy substitute with this recipe. Also, low-fat or full-fat buttermilk will work in this recipe
- Raisins: You can substitute currants if you prefer.
