Fast Fast Fast Soda Bread
"Have you ever had one of those nights when you realize you need bread to dunk into dinner, but you don't have time to let anything rise and biscuits just won't do? This is great. In less time then it takes my oven to preheat this is ready to go in the oven. The original recipe, from Sarah Schlesinger's 500 Fat Free Recipes, called for 2 cups whole wheat & 1 cup white. I happened to be running out of whole wheat and just subbed with what I had. Feel free to use more whole wheat, though. And I never have fat free buttermilk; I always use skim and lemon juice and it is just fine! This is a little dense but great to dunk into soups and stews."

This is a supper-saver! We enjoy this using only white flour and I've used blended cottage cheese in place of the buttermilk (1 1/2 cups, no vinegar or lemon juice). I make this often. Thanks! -
I needed something in a hurry to serve with Stuffed Cabbage Soup (#51150) and with the cookbook search being down I couldn't find my usual go-to soda bread. I have to say that this isn't the best quick soda bread I've ever had (which could be partially my fault, as I used 1 1/2 cups each of whole wheat and white flour) but still it's pretty good, and worked a treat in a pinch! -
Quick, easy and delicious! DH loved this bread. I added a 1/2 t. of kosher salt, used all white flour and Anemone's tip of using cottage cheese. I didn't blend it and only used a 1/2 C. and a cup of milk with the added vinegar. Worked like a charm. I was worried it might be too hard after taking it out of the oven so I brushed it with melted butter. So delicious with our chicken noodle soup. Thanks for posting the recipe, I'll be making this again for sure.

Really great bread and super quick! Both hubby and I loved this! Couple small additions... I added about 1/2 cup of white sugar and about 2/3 of a cup or so of chopped dates. This turned out great! It went very nicely w/ our pot roast dinner tonight - a nice substantial bread that was quick to make w/ ingredients I usually have on hand - I love it!! Thanks so much!

This bread lived up to the description in the header. Very easy to put together and cooked in exactly 40 minutes. I always use buttermilk powder and water instead of having the fat-free buttermilk on hand. Works well when baking. It is a nice hearty bread. Something I plan to do again. Thanks ladypit.
