That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Soda bread". Soda bread is leavened using a combination of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and cream of tartar. The bread is made with soured milk, which reacts with the soda to create carbon dioxide bubbles, providing the bread its characteristic rise. Salt is added for flavor. Soda bread has a dense texture and is typically enjoyed with butter and preserves.
