Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Whole wheat flour
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 360 milliliters Buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and honey until the honey is fully dissolved.
Slowly pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Avoid over-mixing to keep the bread tender.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it just a few times to help it come together into a round loaf. The dough will be slightly sticky and rustic in appearance.
Place the loaf onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to score a deep cross into the top of the loaf. This allows the bread to expand while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Whole Grain Irish Soda Bread with butter, jam, or alongside your favorite soup!
