My mother, Elizabeth O'Connell, now 82, still makes this soda bread every day, says Allen. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour (about 9 ounces) |
2 cups whole wheat flour (about 9 1/2 ounces) |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
2 cups buttermilk |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Make a well in center of mixture. Add buttermilk to flour mixture; stir until blended (dough will be sticky). Turn dough out onto a generously floured surface; knead lightly 4 to 5 times. Shape dough into an 8-inch round loaf; place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut a 1/4-inch-deep X in the top of the dough.
3. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400° (do not remove bread from oven); bake 15 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.
