Recipe
Due to the humid climate, wheat with low gluten content grows in Ireland. Yeast is not especially suitable for it, so they often replace it with baking soda. Pastries turn out spongy and delicious, although a bit less airy. Meet Irish soda bread!
The traditional recipe features buttermilk, but we replaced it with kefir. You can also use soured milk. To make it, add a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice to milk, and after a couple of minutes, the perfect base for Irish soda bread will be ready.

Irish soda bread has a rich taste and aroma, and it tastes excellent without any additives. If you want, though, you can spread it with butter and serve with coffee or tea.
