Why wait for St. Patrick's day to have this delicious bread?
Irish soda bread is very simple to make, no wait for rising, and not kneading, as Irish soda bread is prepared without yeast.
Traditionally it has just four ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk.
The baking soda and buttermilk react to cause the dough to rise.
In Ireland, it is often made from stone-ground whole-wheat flour. And this recipe is made with whole wheat flour and steel cut oats to create more earthy flavor.
