Much easier than yeast bread, and a lot faster. I learned to make it when I spent some time in Ireland back in the mid 70s. Irish Soda Bread 2 cups all purpose flour (can use part whole wheat) 2 Tablespoons sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 Tablespoons butter 3/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons buttermilk (or soured milk) 1/2 cup currants (optional, but nice if you're using this for breakfast) In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or 2 knives. Add the buttermilk and mix thoroughly into a soft dough. Add the currants if you're using them. Knead the dough on a lightly floured board about 3 minutes or until smooth. Form the dough into a 7 inch flat round and place in a lightly oiled cake tin. Cut a cross about 1/2 inch deep in the center of the round. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Enjoy. Best eaten within a day or two, but that's not usually a problem around here. Jane Cathy Raber <pigeonrock@earthlink.net> wrote: Jane, Would you perhaps have a recipe? Is it hard to do?

I have used powdered buttermilk in bread and other baking successfully for years. The brand is Saco in a buttermilk yellow container. It can get hard so you will want to keep it in a tight container and keep the inside liner in place.
