Quick Bread Recipe ★ 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.

Ingredients

• 4 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup bread flour
• ⅓ cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 ½ cups buttermilk

Cooking 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.
