Soda Bread Wheat

From chicka 15 years ago

This wheat version is equally delicious as the white soda bread, served best warm with Dubliner cheese and aside Corned Beef & Cabbage

3 cups (12 oz) of wheat flour shopping list
1 cup (4 oz) of white flour (do not use self-rising as it already contains baking powder and salt) shopping list
14 ounces of buttermilk (pour in a bit at a time until the dough is moist) shopping list
1 teaspoon of salt shopping list
1 1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda. shopping list
2 ounces of butter if you want to deviate a bit. shopping list

Preheat the oven to 425 F. degrees. Lightly crease and flour a cake pan. In a large bowl sieve and combine all the dry ingredients. Rub in the butter until the flour is crumbly.
Add the buttermilk to form a sticky dough. Place on floured surface and lightly knead (too much allows the gas to escape)
Shape into a round flat shape in a round cake pan and cut a cross in the top of the dough.
Cover the pan with another pan and bake for 30 minutes (this simulates the bastible pot). Remove cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
The bottom of the bread will have a hollow sound when tapped to show it is done.
Cover the bread in a tea towel and lightly sprinkle water on the cloth to keep the bread moist.

I love Whole Wheat Soda Bread. It is hearty and filling. Wonderful on it's own, topped with a slice of cheese and ham, or buttered with jam! I needed about 2 cups of buttermilk to get my dough workable and added some nuts (walnuts and almond slices) and raisins then baked at 400(f) for about 45 minutes. I did brush my dough before baking with the drippings of buttermilk left in the measuring cup to give my bread a slight glaze. I did not cover my pan with another because I didn't have another pan. So easy to make and so good!! I used the 2 ounces of butter (4T.) and it added a pleasant richness as well as added moisture.
