Vegan Soda Bread is a classic Irish bread food. The classic bread was made with buttermilk, salt, baking soda, and flour. We used non-dairy milk instead of buttermilk in this vegan version of soda bread. You can use this bread as a sandwich base or to go with a robust stew. The Vegan Soda Bread is a great choice for vegans and people with dairy problems because it lacks the contents of dairy and eggs. The bread is comparatively low in fat and sugar. The texture of the bread is soft, tender, and slightly crispy. The flavor is lightly sweet and nutty. Let’s prepare the delicious and vegan-friendly bread with the steps (listed below).
