This is a traditional St. Patrick’s day bread recipe. It’s called soda bread because baking soda is a key ingredient and it gives the break a tart flavor. The white bread setting is used on the bread machine but you can also finish this bread in the oven after using the dough cycle if you want the traditional, round loaf shape of a classic soda bread.
It’s ideal with corned beef and cabbage but is also a good bread to serve with fish or pork.
