Happy St Patrick day to my readers who are celebrating it today, 17th of March !  This is my first attempt trying to prepare soda bread. Soda bread is consider as quick bread that rises due to the reaction of lactic aside in buttermilk and baking soda. Yogurt can be used as well. Soda bread is normally eaten on this special Christian holiday. I am a fruit person and I really love mine soda bread fully packed with sweet dried berries. Yummm.....  No worries, its a super easy recipe.
