Super Quick Soda Bread

Super Quick Soda Bread

I admit I didn’t know soda bread until the other day when I prepared this recipe. I was immediately attracted by the fact it doesn’t contain any yeast and grows and looks like a “common” bread.

It is extremely easy to prepare, no bread or kneading machine needed. It is also soon baked, ready to be eaten.

I found this soda bread recipe in Cristina’s post and I tried it immediately. What I liked most is that it is a versatile bread. We ate it with dinner and also for breakfast. Then I ate the little leftover during my coffee pause ;-).

Here in Italy it is not common to find buttermilk, and so I did as most Italians do: prepared it by myself.

The Italian recipe for buttermilk is: equal parts of low fat yogurt and milk plus a Tsp of lemon juice. Just stir and let rest for 10minutes.
