Irish soda bread ~ quick and easy traditional recipe bakes up crusty and dense with flour, sugar, baking soda, butter, raisins, egg and buttermilk.
I have been making this Irish soda bread every St. Patrick's Day for at least 18 years now, ever since I saw it in an issue of
Magazine. It is simple and delicious, and I should make it more often. There are many, many recipes for Irish soda bread, this one is a traditional and classic version. For a non-baker like me, this is foolproof.
World's Best No Yeast Bread
This bread is crusty and dense, using just flour, sugar, baking soda, butter, raisins, egg and buttermilk. No kneading is required, just mix it up and form it into a ball. The ball of dough is scored with an X, which some say symbolizes the cross. I've also heard not to slice the bread for serving, it should be passed at the table, each person tearing off a chunk.
This really is a simple process, especially for us non-bread makers. Sift the ingredients and then mix everything in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Pretty straight forward and not at all complicated.
Irish soda bread is always on my table next to a big platter of corned beef and cabbage every St. Patrick's Day. This recipe is my favorite and never disappoints. Any leftover bread is delicious toasted and slathered with butter for breakfast. I really do need to start making it more than just once a year. And so should you. Happy St. Patrick's Day ☘️

Just made this last night with some really plump, juicy golden raisins. Instead of 1 cup of raisins, I used 1-1/4 cup. Great just out of the oven, slathered with some softened Kerry Gold butter and a mug of hot tea. This recipe is just what I needed. Thanks!
I took this to a Saint Paddy's Day party and it was a revelation. Delicious. For most people who were there, soda bread was a penance, a painfully dry side dish. My husband called it the Irish fruitcake--although I actually like good fruit cake, I understood his point--a dreaded part of every St. Patrick's day. You got some fans that day. Because the recipe's right here on the site!

I also thought it would be fun to try currants instead of raisins sometime, and definitely make it again before next March.
I love it, the Irish fruitcake! Actually, this is the only soda bread I've made or had, I imagine others could be dry. Yes, definitely try currants instead of raisins. Next time I make it, I'm going to try dried tart cherries and some orange zest.Made with pantry staples, you do not need a lot of ingredients to make this simple Irish Soda Bread.

There is nothing better than the smell of freshly baked Irish soda bread in the oven and you catch that first whiff when you pull out the crusty loaf. This soda bread doesn’t take a lot of time to prepare as you do not have to bloom any yeast or wait for the dough to rise, so it’s perfect for when you have a craving for bread.

Irish Soda Bread Recipe From Ireland: Easy & So Authentic! Baking A Moment
This bread is a type of quick bread that comes together quickly to serve a crowd without a lot of work. It uses baking soda as a leavening agent, hence the name. While the use of baking soda for bread is not Irish, they had adapted the soda bread recipe to use inexpensive ingredients available to them. It also does not require any special equipment so anyone can make the bread. Over time, this bread became a tradition to bake for St. Patrick’s Day.
Buttermilk — using buttermilk in the bread dough adds flavor and helps activate the baking soda to help the bread rise. Your bread will not rise without buttermilk, so do not skip it; try my buttermilk substitute recipe if you do not have any on hand. The buttermilk should also be cold for the best results.
Butter — make sure your butter is super cold as it will help prevent the dough from being overly sticky. If you have frozen diced butter, that’s even better. You can work the butter into the dough with your hands or a pastry cutter.

2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. If you’re adding raisins or currants, then mix those in now.
3. Add the butter to the flour mixture and work it into small pea-sized pieces with your hands or with a pastry cutter.
4. Create a well in the middle of the flour mixture and pour the buttermilk mixture in. Use a spatula to fold the mixture until all the flour has worked into the dough.

5. Transfer the dough to your lightly floured surface, form into a loaf, and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or seasoned cast iron pan.
6. Score the top with an “X” and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center has set. Tent the bread with foil if the top is getting too much color. Allow the soda bread to cool before serving.
The simplest way to serve this soda bread is with butter alongside some coffee or tea. A side of honey or jam is delicious as well. My honey butter recipe, pumpkin butter recipe, and apple butter recipe are some of my favorite sides.

Soda bread dries out quickly, so the bread only stays fresh for up to 3 days at room temperature in an airtight container. I recommend only slicing what you plan on serving to keep the bread as moist as possible.
This bread can be frozen for up to 2 months. You can freeze the entire loaf or in slices so you can thaw what you need. Be sure to wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap before freezing.

And corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick’s Day at our house. It was a feast worthy of a true Irishman. We don’t have one iota of Irish in us, but on St. Patrick’s Day we were Irish and loved every minute of it! And every bite of it too!
If you’re a regular follower of the blog, you know my mother was an awesome cook, but she was not a baker. So when it came to the recipe, she brought in the big guns. She called on a good family friend who was legit Irish. Now authentic Irish Soda Bread does not have raisins or caraway seeds. It’s more of a plain, everyday white soda bread, but many people
