The perfect compliment to my vegan cream cheese recipe is this vegan and gluten-free soda bread. During lockdown when I was unable to go to a bakery I used to make soda bread all the time as the ingredients are so simple, easily available and it's really quick to make unlike regular bread which requires yeast and a lot of kneading and time proving, this bread however can be done in less than 30 minutes!
-----
Soda bread has a much denser texture compared to regular bread and making a gluten-free version I expected to be challenging but whilst still being being dense compared to regular yeasted bread I found this version to be softer and lighter than my regular soda bread and I actually prefer it much more so this is the recipe I decided to share.

Most of the bread widely available in Thailand contains milk and has a sweet taste which I'm not a fan of so this is a nice easy, quick alternative for me to make at home and to level it up you can also add in some herbs and spices, I often chop up some rosemary from my garden and throw it into the mix which gives it a great fragrance and taste.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Rice flour
- 1/4 cup Coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1 cup Oat milk
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Ground flax seed
- 3 tbsp Water
Step 1 - Preheat an oven to 220°C
Prepare a small baking tin by greasing it with a little oil and line the bottom with some baking paper.
Step 2 - Make the buttermilk
Mix together the oat milk and apple cider vinegar in measuring jug and leave to curdle for 5 - 10 minutes.
Step 3 - Make a flax egg
To make a flax egg mix together the ground flax seeds and water in a small dish or glass and leave to stand for a few minutes so the mixture gets thicker and more gel like in consistency.
Step 4 - Mix together the dry ingredients
In a mixing bowl mix together the rice flour, coconut flour, baking soda and baking powder.
Step 5 - Add in the wet ingredients
To the flour add in the flax egg and buttermilk mixtures and mix until well combined, the mixture should come together and look like a wet dough.
Step 6 - Shape the Loaf
Shape the dough into a round ball which is about 1" - 1.5" thick and place into a baking tin and score the top with a cross about half and inch deep.
Step 7 - Bake in a oven
Place the bread into the center of a pre-heated oven and bake for 15 - 20 minutes until the top has a golden brown crust.
Step 8 - Let it cool
Once cooked take the soda bread out of the oven and let it cool for 10 - 20 minutes then remove it from the tin and let it cool for a little while longer before slicing and serving. Leaving it to cool will help the structure so when you cut into it it won't be too crumbly.
Step 9 - Serve and store
You can serve the soda bread sliced or toasted in the oven for a few minutes with some cream cheese, it also goes great with soups and stews. The bread will last around 3 - 5 days in an airtight box which you can leave on the counter or if you live in a warmer climate like me then you can keep it the fridge.
Happy Holidays and be sure to tag me on Instagram if you make it
