Why is my soda bread crumbly?

When you add too much flour to the dough, it gets crumbly when baked. The dough should be sticky, but when you transfer it to the slightly floured counter and shape it into a ball, it won’t be that sticky.

Why is my no-yeast bread so dense?

This could be due to overmixing the dough, not adding enough leavening agent, or using dough that's too dry. Remember to mix just until the ingredients are combined and follow the recipe closely for the best texture.

Why didn't my bread rise?

This could be due to expired leavening agents, not enough leavening agent, or improper mixing. Ensure your baking soda is fresh and that you're measuring ingredients accurately.

What if my dough is too sticky?

If the dough is too sticky, lightly flour your hands and the surface where you're working with the dough. However, be cautious not to add too much flour, as it can dry out the bread.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375F / 180C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt and baking soda.
In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and water. (Read the substitutes for yogurt above)
Pour the wet mixture gradually into the dry mixture and mix with your hand to form a slightly wet and sticky dough.
Transfer it on a slightly floured counter and bring it together in a ball shape. Sprinkle a little extra flour if needed and roll it into a ball. Just don’t overplay with the dough.
Place the dough on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Gently pat it down and make a cross on it with a knife for an even baking.
For optional topping, wet the top of the dough with your hand and sprinkle oats over it. This will result in a nice texture on the crust.
Finally, bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
