Soda Bread Competition 2008
SODA BREAD COMPETITION
Traditional Irish soda bread is made without leavening, using baking soda instead of yeast or baking powder to make the dough rise. This gives the bread a special flavor that borders on the taste of cake.
The competition of traditional breads features two categories, white and brown breads. Traditional recipes include flour, baking soda, salt, buttermilk or sour milk, and butter. All purpose, wheat, bran, or rye flours can be used.
A separate contest category is called Baker’s Choice and allows additions of fruit or whatever the baker chooses. Though not a traditional bread, Baker’s Choice breads produce some delicious results.
