Soda bread with a slightly sweet flavor due to some brown sugar. By using half whole wheat flour, the bread has a great nutty flavor.
Ingredients
3Cupsall-purpose flour
3Cupswhole wheat flour
½Cuppacked brown sugar
1Teaspoonbaking soda
¼Cupchilled butter, cubed
2Cupsbuttermilk
Nonstick spray for pan or a little bit of oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 and mix all your dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Once your dry ingredients are mixed well, cube your butter and cut it into the dry ingredients. I just use my fingers to mix it in until it’s in pea-sized balls throughout the flour.
Add the cold buttermilk and give everything a stir. It should form a saggy dough.
You don’t need to knead this dough very much. It’ll be pretty messy. So just knead it a few times to even out the dough and then form a rough ball with it.
Set the ball on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray.
Use a serrated knife to cut a big X in the top of the bread.
Bake the bread for 50-60 minutes. It should sound hollow when you thump it! It’ll still be pretty dense though.
Let it cool for 30 minutes when it comes out of the oven. Serve it with bread!
