Which flour to be used: I have used 2 parts of wheat flour and one part of all purpose flour. You can use either wheat flour or all purpose flour.
Use of buttermilk: In traditional Irish soda bread is made with buttermilk, but i replaced buttermilk with milk and vinegar. Buttermilk is alkaline in nature and its react with baking soda which result in dense and moist bread. Milk and vinegar are always works the same as buttermilk do.
