I don't think that using a can of soda to make a quick bread allows one
to name it "soda bread" :-) That's another thing altogether.

That's why "soda bread" was in quotations. I know what real soda bread is
too. This was a big deal for the kids. The instructions were in the
teacher's lesson book. Just something for the kids to do together. But I
did get a real laugh about the root beer comment. It was from a 7 yr. old
boy who is always outspoken...lol......Sharon

You can make your recipe even better by ditching the crap-loaded pancake
mix and using 3 cups of self-rising flour instead.

My classic "beer bread" recipe is 3 cups of self-rising flour, 2
tablespoons (more or less to taste) of sugar and a can of beer. Stir it
together and place in a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 until golden.
Allow to cool before slicing.

This is a nice dense bread that goes well with a bowl of chili or stew.

I have dressed it up with a sugar and cinnamon topping and called it
"coffee cake" or added herbs and cheeses. Very versatile recipe.
