Multigrain Soda Bread Recipe: Makes 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2/3 cup quick oats
- 1/4 cup natural wheat bran
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons quick oats
Method
Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl (except 2 tbsp oats). Add 2 cups buttermilk. Stir lightly with a fork just until moistened. Gather into a ball. Place onto a floured board. Using a spatula, gently rotate so that all sides are coated with flour and are no longer sticky. Transfer to a cookie sheet coated with cooking spray. Pat into a 10" circle. Score into 16 wedges with a knife. Brush top with remaining buttermilk. Sprinkle with remaining oats. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes at 350°F or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Place on a cooling rack. Cover bread with lightly dampened cloth and cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
