I thought it was like beer bread, and said as much.
No, she said. It uses baking soda as leavening. Or a little leavening. ;) Oh how I love thee, Mary!
About a week ago, I made soda bread using THIS RECIPE. Since I'm supposed to have no sugar, I researched a bit and decided to just leave the sugar out.
I made 2 loaves, and they're not 100% perfect (yet), but it's a darn good start on this adventure.
I even went a little liberal and made one loaf with raisins in it. But I soaked the raisins in water first to get them nice and plump. It's a great morning treat. And because I used a mix of white flour and whole wheat flour, I feel pretty guiltless about eating it.

Hey! I am doing some blog catching-up, and I noticed this post.
I made soda bread last week, and I *promise* I thought "hmmm, I wonder if Karen could have this?"
This is an amazing, simple, hearty recipe: http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/oat-soda-bread-recipe.html I made the oat flour like suggested (it took like two minutes- totally worth it), then for the rest of the flour, I did half whole wheat/half all-purpose I used poppy seeds, caraway seeds, and sesame seeds on top. I actually baked it on my pizza stone, which gave it a good texture.
Also, can you have molasses? Because this is a HEARTY, delicious bread: http://www.joythebaker.com/blog/2011/01/whole-wheat-molasses-bread/
It's great with a nice, thick bean soup or something. I also had it for breakfast, and that worked.
:) Enjoy!
