Category : Soda Bread

Soda bread is a variety of quick bread traditionally made in a variety of cuisines. The difference being is that sodium bicarbonate is used as a leavening agent instead of the traditional yeast. The ingredients of this traditional bread are flour, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk. The buttermilk in the dough contains lactic acid, which reacts with baking soda to form tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide. Other ingredients can be added, such as butter, egg, raisins, or nuts. An advantage of quick breads is their ability to be prepared quickly and reliably. This is you do not require the time consuming skilled labour and temperature control needed for traditional yeast breads.
