In brief

King Arthur’s Irish Soda Bread uses baking soda and buttermilk rather than a long yeast-fermentation schedule.

Useful to know

King Arthur’s Irish Soda Bread uses baking soda and buttermilk rather than a long yeast-fermentation schedule. This version also contains egg, butter and dried fruit, so it does not represent every traditional formula. [1]

The dough is brought together briefly and shaped as directed. Adding hours of proofing will not make it behave like yeast dough. Compare both the flour and acidic ingredient when choosing a soda bread. The shared name does not make every liquid freely replaceable with water.
