Irish Soda Bread (White) is a traditional Irish bread that has been enjoyed for centuries. It was originally made with only four ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk. In the past, Irish Soda Bread (White) was baked over an open fire, but today it is baked in a regular oven. The bread is easy to make and requires no yeast. Instead, baking soda and cream of tartar are used to create carbon dioxide, which makes the bread rise. It is perfect for serving with your morning cup of tea or coffee.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
2.	In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, sugar, and salt until well combined.
3.	Add buttermilk to the dry ingredients and stir the mixture until you have a soft dough.
4.	Flour a baking sheet and place the dough on it. Cut a cross on the top of the dough.
5.	Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
6.	Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
