Lupin Free Soda Bread with Caraway

There is something deeply satisfying about a loaf of soda bread — crusty on the outside, tender within, and ready without any yeast or long rise times. The caraway seeds woven through the dough bring a subtle, slightly earthy warmth that makes every slice feel a little more special. This recipe keeps things beautifully straightforward: all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cold buttermilk are all you really need to pull it together. For anyone navigating lupin concerns, that simplicity is genuinely reassuring — lupin flour sometimes sneaks into artisan and specialty breads as a protein booster, but this loaf sticks to plain all-purpose flour with no surprises. The cold buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to give the crumb its lift, and the deep X scored across the top ensures the center bakes through evenly rather than staying doughy. A brush of melted butter straight from the oven adds a glossy, rich finish that makes it nearly impossible to wait the full ten minutes before cutting in. Serve it warm with good butter, alongside a bowl of soup, or just torn apart at the table — it disappears fast either way.
