[Sca-cooks] Irish Soda Bread

It depends on what you mean by flatbread.  In general, flatbreads are 
deliberately shaped to be flat and usually require less cooking time than 
traditional oven baked breads.  The Irish soda bread I produce doesn't meet 
either of these criteria and I wouldn't consider it a flatbread.  Yet by 
flattening the loaf and maybe changing the ratios of the ingredients to 
shorten the baking time, it would definitely be a flatbread.

My opinion is that it is a traditional style bread using a chemical leaven 
to shorten preparation time.
