 | | With soda bread recipes today, the original ingredients of flour, baking soda, salt and buttermilk are still used, but over time, additional ones have been added: all-purpose flour is more commonly used than the traditional whole wheat flour and baking powder is often substituted for the baking soda or just added in, as well. |
 | | Because the baking soda starts releasing its leavening power when mixed with the buttermilk, quickness in getting it into the oven to bake is of utmost important. |
 | | Just as the original recipes, today's soda breads are mixed by first blending the dry ingredients, such as flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl, making a well in the center of it, and then adding 3/4 of the buttermilk to it. |
