is baking soda the same as bread soda?

Answer 1

Bread soda is just an old timey way of saying baking soda. Here is a good recipe for soda bread

Ingredients
10 oz - Plain white flour;
6 oz - Wholemeal flour;
1 3/4 lvl tsp - Bread soda;
2 heaped dessert spoons - Wheat germ;
1 lvl tsp - Salt;
1 heaped tspn - Sugar;
7/8 pint - Buttermilk.

Method
Grease and flour an 8 inch round baking tin.
Sift the white flour into a large mixing bowl.
Add the other dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
A simple tip - sift the flour and baking soda five times through a sieve - this ensures completely even mixing of the ingredients, and gives a better result.

Make a well in the centre of the bowl, pour in some of the buttermilk and, with a wooden spoon, gradually mix the flour into the buttermilk.
Add more buttermilk and mix in more flour. Continue until the flour is completely absorbed into the mix. The mix should not be over saturated, but have a slightly stretchy look.
You need to handle it as little as possible. You can also ball it up into one or two balls, place them on a flat baking tray, and cut a cross in the top

Turn the mix into the baking tin and place in a medium hot oven (180 degrees centigrade, 350 degrees F) for 35 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
Leave to cool on a wire tray.

baking soda is this:

Sodium bicarbonate is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. Because it has long been known and is widely used, the salt has many other names including sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium bicarb, baking soda, bread soda, cooking soda, bicarb soda, saleratus or bicarbonate of soda. It is soluble in water. This white solid is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slight alkaline taste resembling that of sodium carbonate. It is a component of the mineral natron and is found dissolved in many mineral springs. It is also produced artificially.
