Irish Brown Soda Bread

Sharing is caring!

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

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.

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.

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 to 45 minutes.
