Irish Brown Soda Bread

          

This is the real thing! Because it must only be handled very lightly, it can never be made in a bread machine.

Original recipe makes 4 – 10 ounce loaves

Ingredients

4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup bread flour
1/3 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups buttermilk

    10 mins

  • COOK

    45 mins

  • READY IN

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together whole wheat flour, white flour, rolled oats, baking soda and salt. Gently mix in the buttermilk until a soft dough is formed. Knead very lightly. Divide dough into 4 pieces; form into rounded flat loaves. Mark each loaf with an ‘X’ and place on prepared baking sheets.
  3. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 to 45 minutes.
