Irish dark soda bread is a traditional recipe with its roots in Ireland, where it has been prepared for centuries as a staple food on the family table. Its name comes from the use of baking soda as a leavening agent, instead of traditional yeast. This bread is known for its dense texture and slightly sweet and tangy flavor, thanks to the use of buttermilk or sour milk.
In different Latin American countries, this bread may have various names or adaptations, although not always with the same method. For example, in Mexico you might find a similar version as "homemade sour milk bread," while in other countries like Argentina or Chile, the concept of a quick bread with baking soda may be present in homemade preparations, but with variations in the ingredients. The popularity of Irish dark soda bread has grown worldwide, standing out for its ease of preparation and characteristic flavor.
