Oatmeal Soda Bread Recipe - Cooking Index
2 1/2 cups | 592ml | Oatmeal |
2 cups | 474ml | Buttermilk |
2 1/2 cups | 156g / 5.5oz | Flour |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Salt |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Baking soda |
Flour - for dusting | ||
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Butter |
In a mini-food processor, fitted with a metal blade, pulse the oatmeal until the meal is very fine. Remove from the processor and turn into a mixing bowl. Stir the buttermilk into the oats and cover with plastic wrap. Let the oatmeal steep in the buttermilk for 12 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with the butter.
In a mixing bowl, sift the other ingredients together. Stir in the steeped oatmeal and mix well. If the mixture is too wet add a little more flour. Lightly dust the work surface with some flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead the dough a couple of times to form a soft ball like shape. Press the dough into a round about 2 inches thick. Using a sharp knife, make a criss-cross cut into the bread.
Place the bread in the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Serve the bread warm with butter.
This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
