Soda Bread is an important part of any St. Paddy’s menu. In fact, I’ve had people threaten to boycott dinner if it wasn’t on the menu. Aside from its delicious nature, it’s also really easy and really fast since it’s a no-rise bread. This version is nice because it fits in a standard loaf pan and has lots of texture.
Nonstick vegetable spray or butter and flour
1 cup bread flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons oats (not quick)
¼ cup brewer’s yeast
3 tablespoons steel-cut oats
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
Preheat oven to 325°.
Stir dry ingredients in large bowl. Add liquids and stir until dough forms; it’s a wet dough. Transfer dough to prepared pan. Bake bread about 40 minutes- do the toothpick test. Turn bread out to cool. Serve with really good butter.
