Soda bread is a variety of quick bread made without using yeast. Bicarbonate of soda is used as the leavening agent combined with buttermilk. The buttermilk in the dough contains lactic acid which reacts with the baking soda to form bubbles that make the dough rise. In this recipe, I am making it parev and to achieve this, use 1 tablespoon of either lemon juice/ lime juice, white wine or apple vinegar and add to soya milk. Stir well and leave for 5 minutes.
