Irish Soda Bread

Soda bread is a bread that doesn't need yeast or time to rise so it's great if you're in a hurry. What makes it rise is the baking soda and the buttermilk. When you mix them together, they start to react and bubble a bit. 
Irish Soda bread is perfect for dunking in soups or stews. Great warm with butter or jam. 

This is a recipe I found on allrecipes.com  and it is very good and simple.
