Best Brown Oatmeal Soda Bread Recipes

BROWN OATMEAL SODA BREAD

Steps:

• Into a large bowl sift together 2 1/4 cups of the all-purpose flour, the baking soda, the baking powder, and the salt and stir in the whole-wheat flour and 1 cup of the oats. Add the buttermilk and the egg and stir the mixture until it forms a dough. Turn the dough out 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. Halve the dough, form the halves into round loaves, and put them on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle the loaves lightly with the additional oats, dust them with flour, and bake them in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they are browned lightly. Let the loaves cool on a rack.

Steps:

• If using sour milk, prepare and set aside.
• In a large bowl mix 2 1/4 cup of the flour with the rest of the dry ingredients.
• Form a well in the center.
• In another bowl (or large measuring cup) whisk together the egg and milk.
• Pour milk mixture into the dry ingredients and fold until JUST combined.
• Turn out onto floured surface and knead the other 1/4 cup of flour into the bread being careful not to overwork the dough.
• Cut dough in half.
• Form into 2 round loaves.
• Cut a cross into the top of each loaf.
• Dust with flour and sprinkle with additional oats.
• Sprinkle baking sheets (I prefer to use baking stones) with oats to prevent sticking and bake loaves at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
