Irish Soda Bread – Heirloom Recipe – 4 Ingredient – No Yeast Bread - No Fail – The Hillbilly Kitchen

Add salt and baking soda to a bowl.

Pour in 2 cups of buttermilk and stir to combine.

Form the dough by squeezing it together with hands or a spatula, avoiding over-mixing.

Turn the dough out onto a floured countertop and shape it into a round loaf.

Flour the bottom of a 9-inch cast iron skillet or use parchment paper.

Mash the dough out a little in the skillet, ensuring it doesn't touch the sides.

Cut a cross in the top of the dough to allow it to rise and bless it.

Optionally, brush the top with leftover buttermilk or an egg wash.

Preheat the oven to 425°F and let the dough rest on the countertop.

Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F.

Continue baking for 30-40 minutes until the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
