What it is
Ireland's daily miracle: flour, salt, soda and buttermilk kneaded in minutes, marked with a cross and baked — no yeast, no waiting, a loaf from scarcity. Ingredients: plain and wholemeal flour, baking soda, salt, buttermilk; optional: oats, seeds, raisins (for 'spotted dog' sweet version). Recipe: 1) Mix dry ingredients; make a well. 2) Pour in buttermilk; mix with a hand to a soft, shaggy dough — never overwork. 3) Shape into a round; cut a deep cross (to let the fairies out, and to bake the centre). 4) Bake 30-40 minutes until it sounds hollow. Serve: the day it's made, with butter and jam or beside stew. Flavor: wheaty, tangy, tender crumb. History: soda bread rose in the 1830s-40s when baking soda met Ireland's soft wheat and sour milk — poverty engineered one of the world's great breads. See also: Irish Stew, Boxty.
