Soda bread is a traditional version of bread baking in Ireland. You can find it all over the place. People bake it at home, sell it in supermarkets and serve it in cafes. From its name, it’s clear that the bread is made without yeast or sourdough and the dough rises with the help of baking soda. You can find a more or less classic version of Irish soda bread here, Irish Brown Soda Bread, if you’re interested.
Today we’re baking an even tastier and healthier gluten-free version of soda bread. The mix of buckwheat and chestnut flour makes it flavorful and slightly sweet. I highly recommend trying it!
P.S. Bread (any bread) is best baked in the oven in a cast iron cauldron under a lid. It will recreate the oven conditions, retain moisture and make the crust crispy.

Hi, I really like this recipe and the mix of flours. But is there a substitute for the tapioca starch? If you dont need the recipe to be gluten free, can you use regular flour instead? Same with the coconut yogurt, can you substitute regular yogurt? Thanks
Dear Thyme, I am very happy you liked the recipe! This recipe is an adaptation of Irish Soda Bread for gluten and dairy-free baking, for which tapioca starch, psyllium husk and coconut (or other plant) yogurt are essential. If you do not have any of these food intolerance, I would recommend to check classical Irish Brown Soda Bread, I have a recipe of it as well.
