Irish Soda Bread

Cultural Context

Irish Soda Bread originated in Ireland in the 19th century, utilizing baking soda as a leavening agent due to the lack of yeast. Traditionally, it was made with simple ingredients, reflecting the frugality of rural life. Today, it is a staple in Irish households and is enjoyed worldwide, often served with butter or jam.
