Soda bread is normally pitched as being perfect for people who are a bit scared of making bread. It is much more forgiving than traditional yeasted doughs, and comes together in a fraction of the time. But there are other reasons to make it. Quite simply, it is a delicious, homely bread that I think everyone should have in their repertoire. I’ve taken this version over to the sweet side, but it still holds on to the original’s rustic charm. This bread is best served warm, with lots of salted butter and an extra drizzle of honey.
