As a Jew, making Irish Soda Bread would not be something that comes naturally to me. However, over the years, I’ve received many requests for a Low-Carb Irish Soda Bread recipe.
What is Irish Soda Bread?
Given that I’m not Irish, I had to do some research to figure out what Irish Soda Bread is. According to Wikipedia:
“Soda bread is a variety of quick bread in which bread soda (otherwise known as baking soda) is used as a raising agent rather than yeast. The ingredients of traditional soda bread are flour, bread soda, salt, and buttermilk. Other ingredients can be added such as raisins, egg or various forms of nuts.”
Dairy-Free Irish Soda Bread Recipe
Irish Soda Bread typically contains buttermilk. The acid in the buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to create a chemical reaction which makes this bread rise. In order to make a dairy-free Irish Soda Bread I used apple cider vinegar rather than buttermilk.
