Belle Isles Soda Bread is a classic Irish bread is great served with local jam or honey. Also, for a more substantial breakfast top with toasted cheese or a poached egg. When you need bread in a hurry there is no better. This bread is ready from start to finish in only 45 minutes. Fortunately, not having to wait for the yeast to react and for the bread dough to relax means time flies by. This recipe uses bicarbonate of soda as the leaving agent. I have actually used this instead of granary bread in Devilled Tomatoes on Granary Toast. However, a personal favourite use of Belle Isles Soda Bread is part of a casserole to wipe the dish.
