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

3 Cups all-purpose flour

3 Cups whole wheat flour

½ Cup packed brown sugar

1 Teaspoon baking soda

¼ Cup chilled butter (cubed)

2 Cups buttermilk

Nonstick spray for pan or a little bit of oil

Method

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!
