A good oldfashioned Irish Oatmeal Bread. Ingredients:
2-1/4 to 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder |
2 teaspoons salt |
2 cups whole-wheat flour |
1 cup oldfashioned rolled oats plus 2-3 tbsps. extra for sprinkling the top of bread |
2 cups buttermilk |
1 large egg, beaten lightly |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, sift together 2-1/4 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
2. Stir in whole-wheat flour and 1 cup of oats.
3. Add buttermilk and egg and stir the mixture until it forms a dough. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead it, kneading in as much of the remaining 1/4 cup all-purpose flour as necessary, until it forms a manageable but sticky dough.
4. Halve the dough, and form the halves into round loaves.
5. Put them on a greased baking sheet.
6. Sprinkle the loaves lightly with the additional oats, dust them with flour, and bake them on the middle rack of a preheated 350°F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they are lightly browned.
7. Let the loaves cool on a rack.
8. Makes two 7 inch loaves.
