I don’t know about you, but kitchen substitutions are practically an art form around here. Whether it’s cocoa powder instead of baking chocolate, oil instead of butter, or flour instead of cornstarch, if it’s possible to substitute something, I’ve probably tried it.
As you can probably guess, once upon a time I wished to make Irish soda bread without buttermilk. Buttermilk isn’t something I typically keep in the fridge, so I had to use a substitution trick with regular milk instead. You’ll get all the details on that in the recipe.
The nice thing about soda bread is that not only does it bake up quickly, it’s a versatile bread that can be used at different meals.

Easy Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread
Unlike most internet recipes, traditional soda bread is made with whole wheat flour. This makes a heartier brown bread perfect for soaking up gravies and sauces.
For example, Native American soda bread is the original soda bread and it is made with hard wheat flour, like bread flour or even all-purpose.
Irish soda bread uses soft wheat flour like pastry or cake flour. These are less glutinous and more crumbly, giving a more delicate texture to the soda bread.

Buttermilk substitute. This soda bread recipe uses whatever milk you have on hand and sours it with acid. (Your choice between vinegar or lemon juice.) This substitute provides the soda bread same tangy flavor without buttermilk without the specialty ingredient.
Preheat the oven to 400°F and begin by lightly greasing a baking sheet, stone, or cast iron pan. Let the oven heat for at least 20 minutes before baking.
In a small bowl combine the milk and acid (lemon juice or vinegar). Allow to sit for five minutes or until the mixture becomes clumpy.

In a large bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Don't skip this step because baking soda tends to clump and nobody wants to bite into that!
Use your fingers to mix the butter into the flour. The butter should become crumbly, coarse, and small. Stir it around to ensure it is evenly distributed.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture. Use a spoon to gently combine all of the ingredients until the ball forms.
Soda Bread Without Buttermilk • Recipe For Perfection
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and use a pastry scraper to help gather straggling dough pieces into the ball.
Transfer the dough onto the greased baking surface and use a sharp blade to cut an X ½-inch deep in the top of the loaf.
If you chose a hard wheat flour like bread or all-purpose the soda bread will be denser. Also, avoid kneading the bread which works the proteins in the gluten and makes the bread tough.
Perfect Soda Bread Without Buttermilk
Soda bread uses a chemical reaction between an acid and baking soda to create carbon dioxide. These bubbles then disperse throughout the dough creating a texture similar to other leavenings; light and tender but with a unique tangy flavor.

My quick and easy Vegan Soda Bread recipe proves exactly that!
My Irish Soda Bread with Yogurt recipe has become a favourite for so many of you and I truly hope that my no-buttermilk, no-yogurt and dairy-free version will follow suit.
Irish Soda Bread Recipe
Buttermilk is one of the main ingredients in classic Irish soda bread but as you already know if you've made my Irish Soda Bread with Yogurt, it can be easily substituted.
Ideal substitute will be equally acidic and will therefore react with baking soda and cause bread to rise (hence the use of yogurt in my Irish soda bread).
Here I wanted to go one step further and make my soda bread completely dairy-free and vegan too. It was easier than you might think!
Easy Mini Soda Bread
Since we've gone plant based oat milk has become our milk of choice (I make it myself - recipe coming soon) but any neutral tasting plant/nut milk will do (soya milk would be my other favourite).
You can either mix your plant milk with apple cider vinegar and wait for it to curdle giving that buttermilk like consistency (soya milk is great for that, oat one not so much) or simply add milk and then vinegar to your dry ingredients one after the other. You will find full details and method below.
Flour - One of the great things about soda bread is that it doesn't require any special bread type flour and you can make it with the simplest plain/all-purpose flour if that's all you've got.
Maple Irish Soda Bread
I like to make mine using a mixture of half plain and half wholemeal or spelt flour for that extra boost of fibre.
Salt - I have been using fine Pink Himalayan Salt for a while now and absolutely love it as it is rich in mineral content and free of any unnecessary additives you find in table salt. Fine sea salt would be good as well.
Feel free to play with the amount of salt if you want. Anything between 1-2 teaspoon will work here depending on your tastebuds.
Irish Soda Bread Without Buttermilk (vegan!)
Oat milk - It is my preferred plant milk as I find it most versatile and neutral in flavour. I also make it myself (recipe coming soon) and have it in my fridge at all times. Feel free to use any other plant/nut milk you like. Soya milk would be another one I would recommend here if you're after neutral tasting plant milk.
Mixed Seeds - Optional but a nice touch especially if you like seeded breads. I like to use a mixture of sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
If you go heavy handed on sunflower seeds you might notice your soda bread has got that slight green hue to it. Nothing to worry about here, it's the seeds reacting with baking soda (completely harmless).
Irish Soda Bread Without Buttermilk
I usually bake my soda bread with half plain (all-purpose) and half wholegrain spelt flour. After months of baking it this way I know that 350ml of oat milk is perfect amount of liquid for my loaf.
If you use just plain (all-purpose) flour you might not need as much liquid as that cause white, processed flours are usually less thirsty. You could start with anything between 300-325ml as if you go for full 350ml you might have to add extra flour as your dough will be too wet.
On the flip side, if you go for 100% wholemeal, spelt or rye flour you might need a bit more liquid as these flours tend to be more thirsty.

***TOP TIP*** You don't want for your dough to be neither too sticky and wet nor too dry. You should be able to bring it nicely together without too much dough getting stuck to your hands. Use more flour or liquid as required.
Like with most breads, vegan soda bread is freezer friendly. Personally, I like to freeze it sliced and take it out of the freezer and straight into my toaster as and when I need it.
