In reply to Kimlie Jones. As per the info in the post, you can replace up to 50% of the flour with wholewheat flour if you want to. I don't recommend any more than that though as it will end up too heavy and dense.

have anyone tried with rye or whole wheat purpose flour? I cannot have refined white flour - any suggestion or any recipe for that?

In reply to Kristine Flynn. The butter, yogurt and milk replace the richness of butter milk, which soda bread is traditionally made with. It won't be nearly as good without the butter. It adds so much flavour and colour to the crumb. If you want the recipe to be at its best I recommend following it exactly. If it's omitted some adjustments might need to made to the other liquids to make up for it. You'd likely need a bit more milk or yogurt to bring the dough together.

Can this made without the butter added? Has anyone tried it that way?

I used unsweetened plain almond milk because I can't have soy products, and the flavor was fine. I recommend allowing all the ingredients, especially the yogurt, to come to room temperature because you'll get a really good rise when it bakes. Another fine recipe!

I used to live in Ireland and have struggled since to find a soda bread that matches the ones I used to eat in the breads country of origin. I have since stopped having dairy and was very curious when this recipe arrived in my inbox. I can safely say that it is totally delicious and tastes just like the soda bread I used to enjoy in Ireland. Thank you so very much Melanie.

In reply to Suzanne. You can use the butter in any baking. It works great including in this recipe. I haven't tried my yogurt in this particular recipe but I use it in my apple cake which calls for yogurt and it's fine. I'm 99.9% sure it will be good in this recipe too. Hope you enjoy the soda bread!

Allo!
I don't buy commercial yogurt and butter. I make vegan butter and vegan yogurt according to your recipes ( because it's the best) . Could I use these two ingredients instead of store bought butter and yogurt?
Thanks in advance for your answer and thanks for all your very good recipes.
