Irish Soda Bread

"This Irish Soda Bread recipe yields a classic quick bread with a crusty exterior and a buttery crumb. Studded with raisins or currants, this easy recipe is perfect for breakfast, snack or a side with soup or stew! If you love homemade bread but you're scared of using yeast, then an easy Irish Soda Bread recipe is the perfect solution. Baking soda reacts with buttermilk to act as the leavening agent, so there's no need to knead, rise, or proof the dough. This rustic loaf is full of flavor! It's slightly sweet with a hint of orange from the zest, plump raisins or currants throughout, and a dense, tight crust. The golden crust is incredibly crisp, while the bread stays tender and soft inside. "
