What is special about soda bread?
Soda bread is much different from a regular yeast bread. It doesn't require any time to rise, so it's really fast. Plus it is made using just 4 ingredients, making it incredibly simple.
If you're looking for a recipe for soda bread without buttermilk, this is the recipe for you.
This soda bread made with yogurt takes only a few minutes to mix together, and then bakes for just 40 minutes, making it such an easy bread to make!
Why is it called Soda Bread?
This bread got its name due to the fact that it uses baking soda to rise the bread, instead of yeast.
On its own, it isn't extremely flavorful. That isn't to say it has a bad taste, it just doesn't have a strong flavor. To make it more flavorful, you can add a handful of dried fruit or nuts (or both), or add some cheese or bacon. It's so versatile! But I wanted to share this easy soda bread recipe with you first as just plain old 4 ingredient soda bread, since it's by far the fastest and easiest bread I've ever made.
We have enjoyed our soda bread with just butter slathered on, but we also enjoy it with some homemade jam. It's absolutely delicious with Cherberry Jam, Apple Pie Jam, Blue Raspberry Jam, or Meyer Lemon Jelly!
Soda Bread made with Yogurt
Just 4 ingredients and 45 minutes to have warm, homemade soda bread on your table!
Ingredients
- 4 cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Plain Yogurt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425º. Grease a cake pan and set aside.
- Stir together flour, soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Stir yogurt into the flour mixture by the ½ cup until dough sticks together and forms a ball shape (you may not need the entire 2 cups, or you may need a bit more-- it will depend on how you measured your flour).
- Knead several times on a floured surface, then roll into a ball.
- Place into greased cake pan, and press down lightly to make it a bit flatter.
- Make a cut in the top of the dough, about ½" deep. You can make a single slice across the top, or make an X shape.
- Cover the pan with a sheet of foil tented (to give room for the bread to rise), or turn another cake pan upside down over it.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove cover and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Best served hot.

Yum! I never have buttermilk when I’m hungry for scones or soda bread. Always have plain Greek yogurt on hand.
Added chocolate chunks and pecans. We like it for a sugar-free dessert (if you use Lilly’s brand chocolate). And, thick-sliced and buttered, made a very decadent ‘Texas Toast’.
I love the idea of adding chocolate and pecans! That sounds delicious!
This looks great. I love that it is only 4 simple ingredients. I am going to make it and I'll take your suggestion to add nuts. Thanks for sharing this simple recipe!
I have never heard of soda bread before but this looks so easy to make. I seem to have issues with yeast, so bread making hasn't happened often with me. I will have to try this for sure.
I've tried making soda bread before, but I love that this recipe has yogurt in it. I'm sure that makes a big difference in the density and texture of the bread.
This soda bread looks so so inviting! I think my whole family will appreciate it!
Soda bread is great to make for St. Patrick's Day. Love this easy for ingredient recipe and made with yogurt!
I love soda bread. It's one of my favorite types of bread. I've never tried making it with yogurt before. I'm really interested in trying this recipe.
I would love to try this recipe, even if I am not good at baking bread. But your recipe only calls for 4 ingredients and the procedure looks fairly easy. Hopefully I will find success in making soda bread! It looks really yummy!
I have never had soda bread before, and it would be interesting to make it. Sounds like a yummy recipe!
I’ve actually never tried making soda bread before. I love that this recipe does not require a lot of ingredients. Looking forward to making it for my family.
I just finished making the soda bread...delicious! I used half all purpose flour and half whole wheat four and added an additional 1/2 tsp of baking powder ( thinking whole wheat might need more). My yogurt was fat free plain Greek and I found that I needed closer to three cups to bring the dough together. My add-ins to the dry ingredients included 1/4 cup each of dried cranberries and raw pumpkin seeds. It baked perfectly in the time noted in your recipe and rose beautifully.
Love soda bread, and yes anything with just your ingredients has my heart!
