**Fun Facts! - Irish Soda Breadbegan popping upin the mid-19th century when bakingsoda first became available for use as a raising agent.

Easier and cheaper than traditional yeast. Also, traditional recipes call for buttermilk.However, in some recipes, the buttermilk is replaced by live yogurt (as I did here) or even stout. Which is on my to-do list!

    I am making this bread right now. Is the dough supposed to be like cake batter consistency? Because that is how mine is and I followed the ingredients. I've never made soda bread I am used to making yeast bread.
