Happy St. Patrick's Day! I decided to go Irish today and make some Irish soda bread. It looks great, but I didn't like how it tasted. Brandon said he'd eat a little more of it, just because it is something different, but it just wasn't good. On the bright side, it was the easiest loaf of bread I've ever made without my bread machine!
Ingredients
2 1/4 c. whole wheat flour
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c. rolled oats
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 T. sugar
2 1/2 c. buttermilk
Directions
- Heat the oven to 400°.
- Combine everything but the buttermilk in a large bowl and stir the ingredients with your hands.
- Make a well in the mixture and pour in 1 1/2 cups of the buttermilk.
- Continue mixing with your hands, adding the remaining cup of buttermilk as you combine the ingredients. The resulting dough will be wet and very sticky.
- Dust your hands with flour, shape the dough into a ball, and place it on a floured cookie sheet (we used a nonstick baking mat). With a knife, score a deep X in the top of the ball, widening it with the sides of the blade as you cut.
- Bake the bread until it's golden brown, about 50 minutes.
- Transfer it to a wire rack and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
