Mills Inn Brown Soda Bread

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Coarse whole-wheat flour
		= (or 1 cup each wheat bran and
		Old-fashioned oats)
2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	All-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1 teaspoon	5ml	Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Cream of tartar
1/4 cup	49g / 1.7oz	Sugar
4 tablespoons	60ml	Cold butter
2 cups	474ml	Buttermilk

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a large bowl, stir the flours or wheat bran and oats, salt, baking soda, cream of tartar, and sugar together. With a pastry cutter, 2 knives, or your fingers, cut or work the butter into the dry ingredients to the texture of coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk. With a wooden spoon, mix until a soft dough is formed.

Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead lightly, just enough to form a large ball. (Flour your hands if necessary for easier handling.) Flatten slightly. With a sharp knife, make a cross on the top. Place the dough in the prepared pan and bake until the bread is lightly browned and sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes.

This recipe yields 1 loaf.
