This Cheddar and Herb Soda Bread is a savory twist on traditional soda bread, featuring a flavorful blend of fresh herbs and sharp cheddar cheese. It’s easy to make and perfect for serving alongside soups or enjoying on its own.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra as needed
  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt

Fresh Herbs:

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh sage

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 ¾ cups buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F.

    2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir together. Add the chopped fresh herbs along with the shredded cheese. Add the buttermilk and stir until combined.

  2. Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter. Bring the dough together and knead lightly just a couple of times to make a smooth ball. Do not over knead the dough or it may not rise properly. Shape into a ball and pat out into a 7-inch circle.
  3. Score and bake: Lightly flour a baking sheet. Transfer the dough to the baking sheet and dust the top with more flour. Use a sharp knife to score a cross into the top of the dough, cutting about 1/2 inch deep. Bake the bread for 15 minutes and then reduce the heat to 375°. Continue baking for another 30 to 35 minutes until fully baked. The bread will sound hollow when knocked on the bottom.
  4. Cool and serve: After baking, wrap the soda bread in a tea towel to cool. The steam will help to soften the outside crust of the bread. Enjoy!
