PAT O'BRIEN'S FAVORITE IRISH BROWN BREAD

List of Ingredients




4 C. whole-wheat flour
2 C. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar (optional)
About 1 1/4 C. buttermilk


Recipe



Mix together all the dry ingredients; add enough buttermilk to form a soft dough. Turn out on lightly floured board; knead lightly. Form dough into a circle; place in greased 9-inch baking pan or on greased baking sheet. The dough should be about 1 1/2 to 2 inches high. Cut a cross 1/2 inch deep over the top with a floured knife. This helps bread cook more evenly.
Bake in preheated 400ºF oven for 40 minutes, or until loaf sounds hollow when rapped lightly on the base with the knuckles. Remove bread from pan; cool on a wire cake rack. Bread should not be cut until it firms up. Toast it for breakfast or tea; spread lavishly with butter.
