This bread is leavened with baking powder instead of yeast and has a texture similar to soda bread. Also like soda bread, it’s one of the quickest of breads to make – mix all the ingredients and bake, no rising. Different from traditional bread, this recipe is an easy if you are pressed for time. The result is a full flavored loaf – amazing toasted or with cheese and preserves.

Delicious recipe. I used caraway seeds in place of the flax. Bread was a little sweeter than I expected. Thanks!
I’m trying this tonight, with a little variation. Fingers crossed!
