This Easy Irish Soda Bread is great stuff. Not a raisin bread, herb bread, or wheat bread. Just a simple delicious pure Irish soda bread.
It’s so easy to make and the smell makes it so hard to wait for it to be cool enough to slice!
This bread is a must with this Easy Peasy Corned Beef and Cabbage on St. Patricks day! These St. Patricks Day Rice Crispy Treats complete the meal!
This is the texture of the bread I remember having when I was younger on St. Patrick’s Day. I just can’t stop eating!

This Easy Irish Soda Bread is great anytime but a must on St. Patricks Day.
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups buttermilk
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, sugar, and salt to a large bowl; mix well.
- Add all of the buttermilk at once; stir until soft dough forms.
- It might be a little lumpy, but don't worry about it at this point.
- Pour the contents of the bowl out onto the counter. Knead for a minute or so until blended. Divide the dough into two portions.
- Shape each portion into a round loaf with lightly flattened tops. Put the loaves on a large ungreased baking sheet, preferably the nonstick kind. Sprinkle some additional flour on top of each loaf and with a sharp knife, cut a cross in two slashes across the top of each loaf.
- Let the loaves sit for 10 minutes.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
- Makes 2 loaves.
Enjoy!
