This yeast-free soda bread with skyr uses baking soda to rise, so there is no need to wait for the dough to proof. Mix the flour, salt, and baking soda with plain skyr, a thick Icelandic cultured dairy product, and water to quickly form a dough, then knead it by hand on a floured surface for about half a minute. If the dough is too wet, add a little flour. Bake the loaf in an oven preheated to 190 °C (375 °F) for crusty homemade bread.

Ingredients

All-purpose flour 450 g
Baking soda 1 tsp
Skyr (plain) 300 ml
Water 80 ml
Salt 0.5 tsp

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F).
Place the flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl and stir with a fork. Add the skyr and water and mix quickly but thoroughly until a dough forms.
If the dough is too soft, add a little flour. Turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead by hand for about half a minute.
Shape the dough into a low, round loaf and place it on a greased baking sheet. Use a knife to make two slashes across the top in an X.
Bake the bread for about 45 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes, then wrap it in a slightly damp kitchen towel and let it cool completely. Slice and serve.

Tip: Sift the baking soda into the flour to remove any lumps, which could leave bitter spots in the bread. Soda bread dries out quickly, so it tastes best toasted the next day.
