Soda Bread
Soda bread is a traditional Irish bread that became popular in the 19th century, when Irish households made it from readily available ingredients. Since it doesn't require yeast, it can be made quickly, and it has a characteristically crusty exterior and a soft, slightly dense interior. Thanks to its easy preparation and traditional elements of Irish cuisine, it is still popular worldwide. It tastes best served fresh with butter or jam.

Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
3
Gradually add the buttermilk, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough forms.
4
On a lightly floured surface, gently shape the dough into a round loaf, being careful not to over-knead it to maintain a light texture.
5
Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet and use a sharp knife to cut a cross shape into the top, ensuring it bakes evenly.
6
Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
7
Let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving with butter or jam.
