Irish brown soda bread is also known in Ireland as the staff of life. I make this bread on St. Patrick’s Day every year to go with my Irish dinner. I make it throughout the year, too! It is so good, and so good for you. It’s very easy. You should make some soon.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter or spray a 9″x5″x3″ loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the first seven ingredients (dry ingredients). With two butter knives or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until it forms a soft dough. With a wooden spoon or spatula, transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan. Bake until bread is dark brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack. Turn right side up to cool.
Delicious with honey butter or jam! Try it toasted, too!

Excellent. I was looking for a dense, moist brown bread. This was exactly what I had in mind, and it’s incredibly easy to make! This bread will become a breakfast staple at our house.
