St. Patrick's Day: Hargadon's Brown Soda Bread

Source of Recipe


From "The Irish Pub Cookbook" by Margaret Johnson



List of Ingredients



• 3 cups coarse whole-wheat flour
  
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
  
• 1 tsp baking soda
  
• 1/2 cup sugar
  
• 1 Tbsp salt
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 1-1/4 cups buttermilk
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
   
   
2. In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. With a wooden spoon, stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Spoon the dough into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula that has been dipped in water or buttermilk.
   
   
3. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Turn the bread out onto the rack and let cool, right side up, for about 1 hour to make slicing easier.
   
   Makes 1 loaf.
