Gluten-Free Blue Cheese Pistachio Soda Bread

The picture says it all! This delicious gluten-free blue cheese soda bread is lightly sweetened with honey, flavoured with blue cheese’s saltiness and has crunchy pistachios throughout. The gluten-free soda bread is sooo good! The texture is perfectly soft with a firm crust. You will love it!

What I love about this blue cheese pistachio soda bread is the super easy recipe. First, you mix the three dry ingredients. Then crumble the cheese in and add the liquids. At the very end, fold in the pistachios and form a ball of dough. No kneading, no waiting, just baking 🙂 The easiest gluten-free soda bread recipe ever!

This soda bread recipe is made with buttermilk and honey. Both add richness and keep the bread moist. The blue cheese is something I always wanted to try in a gluten-free bread recipe. Since soda bread is a mild tasting bread, I added blue cheese for extra flavourful.

Why add pistachio nuts to gluten-free soda bread?

I wanted to add healthiness to this bread. Pistachios are amazing! These small green nuts are loaded with nutrients and are low in calories. Pistachios have only about 159 calories for 49 pistachios, 6 grams of protein, more than most other nuts, 3 grams of fiber, and rich in copper, vitamin B6 and phosphorus.

Ways to serve blue cheese pistachio soda bread.

Since this gluten-free blue cheese pistachio soda bread is mildly flavoured and has the crunchy texture of pistachios, you can serve it with just a smear of butter. This bread makes for a delicious snack any time of the day.

However, I like to serve it with extra cambozola cheese and cherry tomatoes as an appetizer. This bread goes exceptionally well alongside light soups and salads. I hope you give this gluten-free soda bread a try. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy!
