Easy Bread Recipe with No Yeast

This Irish Soda Bread is super easy. Chicken Legs actually made it! It only has 4 ingredients and it tastes great. You will notice that there is no yeast in this bread. The baking soda and buttermilk make it rise. I love this bread because you don’t have to wait around for it to rise. Just mix and bake. Freshly baked bread in under an hour! Can’t beat that. This bread is especially good with some honey butter slathered on it. I plan on making some cinnamon toast with it for breakfast tomorrow.

How to Make Irish Soda Bread

Irish Soda Bread is traditionally made with only 4 ingredients – all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and buttermilk. Simply mix the ingredients together, form into a loaf, and bake.

I baked this bread in a loaf pan. You can also shape the dough into a ball, score and X in the top of the loaf with a knife and place in an iron skillet and bake.
Feel free to mix in some currents, raisins, or caraway seeds to the dough.
To make Homemade Buttermilk, for each cup of buttermilk called for in the recipe combine 1 cup of milk and 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar and let sit for at least 5 minutes or until the mixture starts to curdle.

What to Serve with Irish Soda Bread

This no-yeast bread goes with absolutely everything! Chicken, pork, beef, or casseroles. It is also delicious toasted with butter or jam for breakfast. Whip this up the next time you are craving homemade bread. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
