No Knead Soda Breads recipe

Irish Soda Bread with Cheddar Cheese

This recipe calls for buttermilk, which not all of us keep on hand. If you do not have buttermilk, it is an easy fix. In your measuring cup put one tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice, fill to 1-1/4 cups with milk. Stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes and you will have what you need.
