Welcome to my favorite Irish Soda Bread recipe. I shared this no yeast bread recipe on my blog a few years ago and decided to revisit with fresh new pictures and a video tutorial. This recipe is my grandmother’s. She passed away in 2011, 2 weeks before I started this food blog. I dedicated my 1st cookbook to her. Full of energy and the creator of the best homemade pie crust on earth, she would be in her 90s today. St. Patrick’s Day is her birthday.
Does the thought of homemade bread send you running for the hills? Sometimes homemade bread feels daunting, but you’re in luck today. Irish soda bread is a quick bread made with baking soda, not yeast. Like my easy no yeast bread, this is a shortcut bread that doesn’t skimp on flavor. (If you want a yeast bread, I recommend my sandwich bread recipe!)

Irish soda bread is a type of quick bread that is popularly known to have originated in Ireland. It’s typically made with just flour, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk. Traditional Irish soda bread does not include yeast, as the baking soda reacts with the acidic buttermilk to create the necessary rise. Variations include additional ingredients such as butter, eggs, raisins, currants, or caraway seeds.
You can eat it plain or with butter or jam, toasted or you can use it as sandwich bread. You can enjoy it like you would any loaf of crusty bread.
Homemade Irish Soda Bread Recipe: How To Make It
Irish soda bread is best served warm and fresh out of the oven. You can serve it for breakfast, lunch, as a snack, or as a side dish. It’s also great served on a charcuterie board with cured meats and cheese.
The taste can be described as mildly sweet, with a slight tanginess from the buttermilk and a hint of saltiness. It’s similar to sourdough bread but more dense.
It’s called Irish soda bread because it’s most commonly attributed to Ireland and because of the use of baking soda as the leavening agent instead of yeast.

Fun fact: While soda bread is most famously attributed to Ireland, it was actually first created by Native Americans. They were the first to be documented using pearl ash, a natural form of soda formed from the ashes of wood, to leaven their bread without yeast. However, it wasn’t until this process was later discovered and replicated by the Irish that it earned a reputation worldwide. (source: The Real World)
This Irish soda bread is fragrant with a light buttery scent, and there is a subtle richness from the egg. It also has a light toasty smell from the crust. The center is soft and the taste can be made sweet or savory.
To freeze – tightly wrap in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place it in a freezer-safe container or bag. Label and date the container or bag. When ready to eat, remove it from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature for a few hours. Slice and toast or warm up the whole loaf in the oven at 350F for 10-15 minutes.
