And not just any ole bread, but soda bread: a hearty peasant loaf perfected in all its simple goodness by the Irish. Soda bread is the bread lover’s miracle loaf. Minimal kneading, no proofing (no yeast) and a mere hour later — two, if you can bear to allow the honey oat soda bread loaf to properly cool, which I never can — a fresh, hearty slice of savory goodness, topped with cultured butter, is yours for the taking.

I’m sure the timing of St. Patrick’s Day and Irish soda bread cravings is completely coincidental, but past soda bread posts on my blog confirm that it’s a reliable March thing for me:
I can’t help it. Like scones, soda bread is just too ridiculously easy not to make, even when you trick it out a bit, like I’ve done here.
This loaf substitutes a good portion of all-purpose flour for oat and whole wheat flours. The healthier grains produce a nutty flavor profile that’s simply a joy to eat. And local honey, harvested by a beekeeper only two miles from my home, adds a hint of smooth sweetness that blends so well with the grains.

If you’re new to bread baking, try this honey oat soda bread: it’s more satisfying than the typical quick bread without the time commitment of a yeast bread.
Consider yourself warned, though. Once sampled — bread from your own hand — you’ll never look at commercial bread with the same longing again.

Irish Soda Bread Recipe
This was a brilliant recipe, thank you! All soda breads are fairly dry but this was a lovely texture and I loved the warm honey colour and taste! I made a couple of little changes as I’m dairy-free so I used homemade oat milk with a bit of lemon juice instead of buttermilk. Also, I didn’t realise until I’d almost finished that I had no eggs so I just added another dessert spoon of honey to help to bind it. It came out absolutely beautiful, just a lovely recipe, thank you so much!Classic Irish soda bread is easier than you think – no yeast, simple ingredients, and delicious spread with homemade honey butter!

Happy belated St. Patrick’s Day! I made us some Irish soda bread to celebrate. Weirdly enough, I’d never made it myself before, even though I am quite Irish (and not just because I went to Notre Dame, home of the Fighting Irish). In fact, a cab driver the other day told me he thought I was actually from Ireland before I spoke to him with an American accent. Take from that what you will.
I’m Irish on my mom’s side, and she always told me that my great-grandmother, Grandma Flo (short for Florence) was like a mischievous leprechaun, always winking and looking for trouble.
Irish Brown Bread Recipe With Honey Butter
Sadly, Grandma Flo passed away before I was born, but my mom says my cooking and baking style is a lot like hers. Grandma Flo apparently was an amazing baker and cook, but she never wrote down her recipes – so she could never make something the same way twice, even if she wanted to. She was very creative in the kitchen and always coming up with new ideas. I (fortunately or unfortunately) seem to have inherited her inability to leave well enough alone, and also her bad habit of not writing down recipes. Luckily for all of us, I wrote this Irish soda bread recipe down, and it’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, but also for any time of the year when you want an easy yet hearty bread.
Irish soda bread is made not with yeast, but with the reaction between baking soda (a base) and buttermilk (or sour milk, an acid). The reaction produces the rise, and according to the Society for the Preservation of Irish Soda Bread, a bread cannot be called true Irish soda bread if it contains ingredients other than flour, salt, baking soda, and buttermilk. This historically was a cheaper way of making bread during difficult economic times. Today we make it around St. Patrick’s Day to celebrate Irish heritage, but most American Irish soda breads contain sugar, currants or raisins, and caraway seeds or orange peel. I decided to stay mostly true to the original as a tribute to my Irish ancestors.
I’ve discussed my fear of yeast-based recipes before, and have been mildly successful at conquering it with these cinnamon rolls – but I will always be more comfortable with a recipe when temperamental yeast is not involved. This bread, therefore, is right up my alley. All you have to do is stir everything together, and knead it on a floured surface a few times. This dough is sticky, so be prepared to sprinkle a little extra flour on top of the dough to help.
Easy Sourdough Irish Soda Bread
Once the dough is kneaded enough to form a (slightly imperfect) round, slash an X on top and throw it in the oven. Historically this was done over hot coals in a Dutch oven, but I just baked it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. It comes out looking perfectly risen, crusty, and fabulous!
The smell of freshly-baked bread in your house is pretty unbeatable, I must say. Now, what to do while you wait for it to cool? Whip up some homemade honey butter, obviously. If regular butter is good on bread, honey butter will be that much better, and I bet my Irish ancestors would’ve thought so too. It couldn’t be simpler – just make sure the butter is softened, then stir in as much honey as you like with a generous pinch of salt. I included some approximate measurements in the recipe, but this is really about personal taste.
Some people like to slice soda bread into scone-like wedges instead of slices, but I wanted it to be more like thick sandwich bread. I may or may not have turned the leftovers into French toast the next day. There’s no limit to the things we can do!
Classic Irish Soda Bread Recipe
I don’t know if Grandma Flo made soda bread, but I’m guessing she won’t mind when I say I think she would’ve enjoyed this one. And that I’m sorry I washed it down with Irish coffee.

*You can use store-bought buttermilk, or you can make your own soured milk from regular milk: for 1 cup buttermilk, just add 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar to a 1 cup measure, then fill the rest of the way with regular milk. Stir and let sit for about 10 minutes. I also use Saco powdered buttermilk, which you
