Authentic Irish Soda Bread-Yeast Free is a traditional bread recipe that has a long history in Ireland. The bread dates back to the 19th century and was born out of necessity when bakers could not afford the rising agent of yeast. With only a few simple ingredients, the bread has become a staple in many Irish households and is still enjoyed today. The bread can be made quickly and easily and is perfect for those who are new to baking or have little time to spend in the kitchen.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a baking sheet with oil or cooking spray.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour, self-rising flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
3.	In a separate mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, honey, and olive oil.
4.	Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a dough is formed. Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5.	Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on the greased baking sheet. Score a cross into the top of the loaf with a sharp knife.
6.	Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool before slicing and serving.
