The Irish knew what they were doing when they invented soda bread. Instead of using yeast as a leavener, baking soda is used to make it rise. The result--a hearty and delicious loaf that is baked in a quarter of the time as a traditional yeast bread. Thus, it is an awesome and easy way to start making your own bread from scratch. No kneading, just a little mixing and some time to let it bake. This recipe uses spelt flour but there are others out there that use whole wheat or white flour. Raisins or nuts are a great addition--just add some to the dough toward the end of the mixing process.
