A tender, flavorful, and surprisingly moist gluten-free Irish soda bread that balances a dense, hearty crumb with a soft, slightly chewy texture. Perfect for cozy mornings or afternoon tea, this quick and easy loaf uses simple pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) gluten-free oat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 4 tbsp (56g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, gluten-free oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, combine buttermilk, melted unsalted butter (cooled slightly), apple cider vinegar, and honey. Stir gently until mixed.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until just combined. The dough will be sticky and thick.
  5. Scrape the dough into the prepared pan or shape it into a round on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Smooth the top gently.
  6. Using a sharp knife, cut a shallow “X” about 1/4 inch deep on the surface of the dough.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough to avoid a tough bread. Score the dough shallowly (about 1/4 inch) to allow proper expansion. If crust browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. For vegan adaptation, use coconut yogurt with apple cider vinegar instead of buttermilk and coconut oil or vegan margarine instead of butter.
