Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. It's a white powery substance used to make baked goods have an airy texture. The sodium bicarbonate reacts with the water and other ingredients during baking to form bubbles of carbon dioxide that keep the dough from getting too solid. Try baking bread without it and see what a difference it makes.
