Seeded Club Soda Bread

This month the theme for Bread Bakers is bread with seeds. Of course my mind immediately went to poppy seeds since I’ve made some delicious sweet breads with poppyseeds. But the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to challenge myself with something new. I search for seeded bread and came up with quite a few. My husband was all for seeded rye but I am not a fan of rye bread. The one that caught my eye was Seeded Club Soda Bread.
I liked the fact that it had only a handful of ingredients. It was also nice that the recipe used flax seeds and sesame seeds, both of which I keep on hand. The neat thing about this bread is that it’s all dry ingredients until you pour in the club soda. Once the soda is in, the bread bubbles up and comes together. This is a very textured bread which I really liked. I also added in some quinoa for another seed.
I was surprised that the bread baked up as tall as it did. It got some good height and looked delicious. When I sliced it the seeded were easy to see inside and on the top. The bread had almost a cracker like texture. In fact, my husband and I used the bread on a cheese board. We rarely eat bread with our cheese but this bread was perfect for that. It was also amazing toasted with a bit of butter on it.
I’m so glad I stepped outside my comfort zone and made this tasty bread. It’s very different from traditional breads but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you try it!

Wow! What a unique and beautiful bread! I had never heard of a club soda bread until now! I so love being part of this baking group- there is so much to learn!
That sounds really interesting! I’ve never heard of using club soda as a leaven, but it makes sense. Lovely post.
Beautiful Bread. I think you took this month’s challenge to a whole new level.
Ohh such a lovely quick bread! Love the seed combo!
Very interesting loaf, thanks for sharing.
The only soda bread I’ve ever made just had baking soda in it! I love that this has actual soda water as the liquid ingredient, Heather. I will definitely be trying it. Thanks for stepping out of your comfort zone so we can learn with you!
I hope you enjoy it! We loved it and enjoyed it with a cheese and wine tray!
I am going to have to make this one for hubbie this week. He is going to love it.
It’s been ages since I’ve made a soda bread and this looks like the recipe to bring me back to that type of bread. So glad you tried something different and it worked so nicely!
Very interesting, I’ve never seen a bread with club soda but it certainly looks like it worked well!
Oh how neat that it comes together with club soda. I definitely need to try this one.
