Quick & Easy Homemade Soda Bread

Finally!

I feel delinquent for not getting this incredibly good and easy bread recipe to you. My daughter or I make this bread ALL THE TIME.  I gave you the Beer Bread recipe here.  It is also very quick and good, but I like the soda bread better for a regular bread you can have all the time with just about anything. Beer bread can tend slightly to the sweet side.

Soda Bread

This is perfect to add to any dinner and it’s really good to have with soup. Many, many nights in the fall, winter and spring we will have some kind of crockpot soup and this bread.

Stir it up.  Throw it in.  Bake less than an hour.

Ingredients:

3 cups flour

1/4 cup sugar (we like sucanat – unrefined sugar)

1 tsp salt

2 cups buttermilk (We never have this so instead we substitute with 2 cups milk + 2 T lemon juice)

2 t baking soda

I can’t remember why I have this in a labeled jar.  I either bought it bulk through my food coop or I stole some from the box in the laundry room.

Directions:

Mix the first 3 ingredients in one bowl.

In another bowl mix the milk, lemon juice and baking soda.

Here are your two bowls of ingredients.

By the way, we are using raw milk straight from the cow.  In the food coop buying club that I belong to, we buy milk from a dairy farmer every week.  Best milk I’ve ever tasted.  I was on soy milk for 15 years, but got converted about 6-7 years ago after lots of research.  Homogenized and pasteurized milk is just not good for you and is the reason many people are lactose intolerant.  But raw milk has solved that issue for lots of people.   Google and research!  And yes, you want a farmer with a good reputation for cleanliness.  Here is a picture of picking up our milk at a friend’s house.

Ok, moving on.

Now mix the 2 bowls into 1.

Grease your bread pan.

Pour in mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.

Oops.  Don’t want to confuse you.  The recipe I am giving you is for 1 loaf,  not 2 as you see in the picture below.

Best served warm with butter.  Mmmmm.

That’s it people.  It doesn’t get easier! And this will happen….

Your family will love you SOOO MUCH as they, very often I hope, smell fresh bread cooking.

And then they will tell all their friends.

And then everyone will think you are amazing.

And really, you are because any mom who makes homemade bread is amazing.

And years from now your children will say, “I had a perfect childhood.  There was always the smell of fresh baked bread.”

And your husband will casually mention to his friends what he had for dinner and their eyes will widen.

And you will just sit and smile with great satisfaction, knowing you had an easy secret from which you got a lot of milage.
