How to bake bread when yeast and flour are hard to find
In short: This video demonstrates a simplified Irish soda bread recipe designed for when common pantry staples like yeast are unavailable. Learn how to create a golden loaf using basic ingredients and a simple kneading technique.
Developed in response to supply shortages in April 2020, this recipe simplifies traditional Irish soda bread by using baking soda as a leavening agent instead of yeast. The process involves rubbing cold butter into a mixture of all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt before incorporating buttermilk and egg.
To achieve the right texture, the dough is kneaded for approximately two to three minutes and then baked at 200ºC (400°F) for about 45 minutes until golden brown.
