Irish Potato Soda Bread made without Yeast

This amazingly easy and wonderfully moist Irish Bread is one of my all-time favorite bread recipes.  Not only does it require zero proofing time or endless kneading, but it is also incredibly versatile. You can add any flavour to the potato dough that your little heart desires. 

What makes this Irish recipe so special

Lemon Zest 

With spring just waiting around the corner, I felt like adding some clean and fresh spring/summer flavours to my Irish Potato Bread. And does it get any more refreshing than combining cilantro with lemon zest ??? 

To incorporate those beautiful flavours into my Irish potato bread I opted for a heaping tablespoon of lemon zest. That’s roundabout 2 medium-sized lemons.

Cilantro Chutney 

For the cilantro part I opted for store-bought coriander chutney. You find that in every supermarket nowadays and I can’t imagine doing without it anymore. I use it in salad dressings, in soups…you name it!  It’s one of my healthier addictions.

If you look closely you’ll notice the little yellow freckles in the bread..that’s where the lemon magic is happening! The Irish Soda Bread has a slightly bright greenish color from adding the chutney. Not like mold…it’s actually a very appetizing, herby green. 

What to serve this soda bread with?

I often make this Irish soda bread for an informal light dinner and serve it with a salad and some salted butter. Glorious! The loaf would disappear within minutes. It’s also great served with my roasted cauliflower soup. 

With it’s fluffy structure the Irish Potato Soda Bread invites to tear it into big chunks without bothering about slices! That’s my favourite way of eating bread. Just break it open with your hands and breath in that lemony aroma.
