Ingredients
- Gluten-free nonstick cooking spray
- 4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1½ teaspoons kosher or fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1¾ cups buttermilk or dairy-free buttermilk substitute
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Generously spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar. Mix on low until fully combined.
- Combine the eggs and buttermilk. Add to the flour mixture and mix until it comes together and forms a stiff dough. Transfer to the prepared pan. With a sharp knife, cut a cross about ½-inch deep into the top of the dough. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until browned and the bread sounds hollow when tapped. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
Traditionally, soda bread is baked in a round pan. I bake mine in a loaf pan so that uniform slices can be cut.

What’s a dairy free buttermilk substitute? And can you add currants or raisin to this?
Hi Jessica,
To make a dairy-free buttermilk substitute, you can add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to every 1 cup of plain dairy-free milk or yogurt and let it sit for 5 minutes to “sour” before using. And yes, currants or raisins should work just fine in this. Enjoy!
