Brown Soda Bread
2 cups self-rising wholewheat flour
2 cups self-rising a/p unbleached flour
1 tsp. soda
2-3 cups buttermilk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Grease a baking sheet with melted butter.
Sift flours and soda into a large bowl.
Use enough buttermilk to moisten the ingredients and form a soft dough.
Turn dough onto a floured work surface and kneed lightly until smooth. Shape into an 8 inch round.
Put on the baking sheet. With a sharp knife cut a deep cross (like an X)
in the top.
Brush with water then sprinkle with a little flour.
Bake for 20 to 30 mins, or until bread sounds hollow when tapped
with the fingers.
