And here is the Soda Bread to go with it.
BROWN SODA BREAD
1-3/4 cups all purpose flour
1-3/4 cups whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons wheat bran
3 tablespoons wheat germ
3 tablespoons old fashioned oats (Quaker) If you can't find wheat bran or wheat germ, double up on the oats
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chilled butter cut into pieces
2 cups (about) buttermilk
Directions: Preheat over to 425F.
Cover baking sheet with flour and shake off excess.
Combine first 9 ingredients, rubbing butter with fingertips (or in Cuisinart)
until it resembles fine meal. Stir in enough buttermilk to form a soft dough.
Gently knead for about a minute on a floured surface and form into a round,
about 6" dia and 2-3" high. Cut a deep X across top. Place on baking sheet and
bake for about 35 mins. Bread should be golden brown and sound hollow when
tapped on bottom.
You can also added sultanas to this bread and it is very good. If the bread
lasts around for a day, it is also good toasted.
