I, too, wondered about the omission of baking soda, but I went ahead and tried this recipe as written. The "dough" was more like pancake batter. I had to add at least a cup of flour - probably more like two. All that kneading (to incorporate the flour) made the end result tough, but the flavor was good. This is my first attempt at homemade soda bread, so I haven't got anything of my own to compare it to, but the soda bread I've had in restaurants was lighter. I wouldn't make this again without serious modifications.
