I love to accumulate a rustic piece of Irish soda bread in soups and stews, especially on the day of San Patrizio! This recipe for Irish soda bread in Liscia is a turning point on the classic and uses a crazy natural yeast for an addition of expected but delicious flavor.
I used my mother yeast start -up, but you could use the active active appetizer if you wish. Faithful to a traditional Irish soda bread, this bread is not based on natural yeast to climb, but instead lacticello and baking soda.

Because I love this recipe
- Easy: Only 6 ingredients are needed for this simple to leaven a natural leavening and without a long fermentation process required this bread is ready in less than an hour.
- Tasty: While sodium bicarbonate slightly neutralize the spicy flavor with a natural leavening, it also contributes to the thin general flavor and adds humidity to the soft soft crumb.

Note ingredients

- Granulate sugar: A small amount of sugar adds a sweet taste to bread.
- Baking soda: Always make sure that sodium bicarbonate is fresh so that it can help correctly rise to bread.
- Salt: A flavor enhancer is often used, Kosher salt, but any salt will work.
- Raisins: If you use the raisins, dip in boiling water for 10-15 minutes, then drain and dry the towel.


Additional components and variations
- Zest and Ribes orange: Use the joy of orange and about 100 g of currant to add a celestial aroma and flavor.
- Cumin seeds: These seeds are a very popular addition to soda bread.

How to prepare Irish soda bread with natural yeast
To start, in a small bowl mix the natural leavening waste and the dairy.


Subsequently, in a large bowl beat the dry ingredients together including flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and raisins.


Add the waste mixture and combine the wet ingredients with the flour mixture using a fork to almost combine. The dough will be shaggy.


Move to a slightly floured and gently impatted flat surface sometimes to combine the dough. Form the dough in an oval shape and place on a prepared parchment paper pan. Using a sharp knife, it marks the dough with a deep cross.


Cook to golden and golden through. Move on a wire rack and let it cool before serving.


discard the tips of the bread with soda
- Type of flour: Replace some flour for all uses with wholemeal flour for a more extraordinary bread. For a sweeter bread, use a soft wheat flour such as type 00.
- Points the dough: Not only because the cross is a traditional Irish superstition, but because it helps bread to cook evenly and expand in the oven.
- Dutch oven: While Irish soda bread with mild they are usually cooked on a pan, you can use your Dutch oven for a more braided crust.
- Don’t skip the dairy: This is an ingredient necessary for the chemical reaction that occurs between acid lacticello and baking soda. Prepare homemade acid milk by combining cream, milk and vinegar or lemon juice. A vegan version of this also works.
- Fantastic before cutting: Otherwise the bread is rubbery in consistency and taste. Use a serrated knife to slice and cut into wedges to prevent it from crumbling.

How to keep bread with soda
Shop: As with most of the fast bread, this taste was better served on the same day on which it is made. It is possible to keep the soda bread with a smooth Irish sodium remaining in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
Freeze: To keep more than a few days, I like to freeze it in slices for a maximum of 3 months. Wrap the slices in a plastic wrapping, then foil and store in a safe container for freezer. Defrost and heat the individual slices in the toaster or in the oven.
