Ingredients
- 120 g unsweetened soy milk 1/2 cup, or other non-dairy milk
- 15 g apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon
- 24 g honey 1 tablespoons, or other sweetener
- 105 g all purpose flour 3/4 cup
- 105 g stoneground whole wheat flour 3/4 cup
- 3 g kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon
- 3 g baking soda 1/2 teaspoon
- 42 g vegan butter 3 tablespoons or 30g/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 50 g raisins 1/3 cup, optional
- 7 g caraway seeds 1 tablespoon, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F/205˚C. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Stir the non-dairy milk, apple cider vinegar and honey or sweetener of your choice together in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup and set it aside to thicken.
- Mix together the flours, salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl.
- Cut the butter into cubes and coat the pieces in the flour mixture. Then use your hands to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs with some pea-sized lumps.
- Mix the raisins and caraway seeds into the flour mixture at this point if adding them.
- Gently combine the wet mixture into the dry mix with clean hands or a dough whisk until they are just incorporated into a wet and sticky dough. Be careful not to over-mix the dough.
- Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Generously dust it with flour and shape it into a round.
- Cut a 1/2-inch deep cross into the top of the loaf.
- Bake the soda bread for about 40 minutes or until it is dark golden brown and sounds hollow when you tap the bottom of the loaf. The internal temperature should reach about 200˚F/93˚C.
- Remove the soda bread from the oven and serve it warm cut into wedges or cool to room temperature before slicing it.

Notes
- Best eaten the day it’s made, but leftover soda bread will keep in a sealed bag at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, slice the loaf then freeze the slices in an airtight freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw or toast before serving.
