White Soda Bread

This traditional white soda bread is the ultimate solution for those seeking the comforting aroma of home-baked loaves without the wait. As a yeast-free vegetarian staple, it relies on the chemical reaction between buttermilk and bicarbonate of soda to achieve its signature rise and tender crumb. The optional addition of caraway seeds introduces a subtle, earthy depth of flavour that complements the slight tang of the dough beautifully.

Perfect for beginners and seasoned bakers alike, this quick bread fits seamlessly into a busy schedule as it requires no proving time. Serve generous, warm slices slathered in salted butter alongside a hearty vegetable soup or a ploughman’s lunch for a truly satisfying meal. It is a wholesome, rustic addition to any kitchen repertoire that tastes best on the day of baking.

Ingredients for White Soda Bread

  • 450g plain flour

  • 2 tablespoons caraway seeds (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon baking-soda

  • 3/4 teaspoons salt

  • 350ml (about) buttermilk

How to make White Soda Bread

Preheat oven to 218°C. Lightly flour baking sheet. Mix flour, caraway seeds, if using, bicarbonate of soda and salt in large bowl. Mix in enough buttermilk to form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball. Turn out onto lightly flour surfaced and knead just until dough holds together, about 1 minute. Shape dough into 6-inch-diameter by 2-inch-high round. Place on prepared baking sheet. Cut 1-inch-deep X across top of bread, extending almost to edges. Bake until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, about 35 minutes. Transfer bread to rack and cool completely.
