Soda Bread
Soda Bread is a quick bread popular in historic and outdoor cooking. The reaction between the soda and buttermilk’s lactic acid creates the light texture.
Using baking soda as a raising agent is a good option to create easy bread while camping such as this herb and garlic quick bread.
The trick for a good textured quick bread is to not overwork the dough. This means no needing and only the minimalist amount of stirring to combine the mixture.
Although this bread can be cooked plain there is also a lot of opportunities to add flavors. This version includes fresh herbs like basil and thyme, as well as cheddar cheese.
