Bread that can be made in less than an hour this gluten free bread recipe is ideal for an easy carb option for soups and stews. I use my steam oven but it is delicious baked in a regular oven and especially good served warm. Soda Bread is naturally yeast free. This version uses eggs but these are optional – they just help to improve the texture when baking gluten free.

An ideal quick bread without the need for yeast. Adding gluten free oats increases the fibre content. You could use a combination of plain and wholemeal gluten free flour if wished.
Soda bread is best served on the day it is baked. However you can freeze it for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven wrapped in foil before serving.
