What's not to love about a bread that can be mixed and ready for the oven in about 10 minutes. Irish soda bread is fast because you don't use yeast so there's no kneading and waiting for the dough to rise. Baking soda and baking powder combined with buttermilk do all the heavy lifting. Mixing in whole wheat flour, wheat bran and wheat germ gives this bread a rustic, crusty exterior and a tender, yet hearty crumb. This recipe from Cook's Illustrated takes a unique approach by using an 8-inch cake pan rather than baking the bread on a baking sheet. The cake pan holds the dough, allowing it to rise preventing too much of a spread.
