Alternatively, make a volcano shape on a marble slab with the dry ingredients, add the buttermilk, and mix with a knife.","Add more buttermilk and mix in more flour. Continue until the flour is completely absorbed into the mix. The mix should not be over-saturated, but have a slightly stretchy look. Handle it as little as possible. You can also ball it up into one or two balls, place them on a flat baking tray, and cut a cross in the top.","Turn the mix into the baking tin and place in a medium hot oven (180°C or 350°F) for 35–45 minutes, or until golden brown.","Leave to cool on a wire tray."],"categories":["Bread recipes","Recipes for bread","Baking recipes","Recipes using baking soda","Recipes using buttermilk","Recipes using all-purpose flour"],"prep_time_minutes":null,"cook_time_minutes":null,"total_time_minutes":60,"servings":"16","yield_text":null,"difficulty":"easy","source_name":"wikibooks","source_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Soda_Bread","source_ref":"4523474","authors_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Soda_Bread&action=history","license":"CC BY-SA 4.0","license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","extraction_confidence":null,"content_hash":"6f9ce84b82babcaa21f9838778c9f42e0d3ac1f175ab08d9cbfb9d16c03f8fe0","created_at":"2026-08-02T14:43:21Z","updated_at":"2026-08-02T17:11:31Z","notice":null,"url":"https://recipecontextprotocol.com/recipes/soda-bread"}
