In September my cousin Sarah, a very talented artist and wonderful woman, came up from Boston with her two boys for my mothers’s memorial service. With her she brought a freshly-baked loaf of her own version of Irish Soda Bread. So easy and so delicious!
Recipe:
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup oat bran
1 cup flax seeds/sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, oats – basically, whatever you have to make a cup
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp each baking soda and powder
2 cups buttermilk
1 egg
preheat over to 350
Mix together dry ingredients
beat egg and buttermilk and stir in to dry ingredients, but do not over-work the dough
let it rest 30 minutes
tip dough onto a lightly greased and floured baking tray
bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until done
I know, easy right? and so good!!!!! I ate some last night with the most delicious chicken tortilla soup – that recipe to follow later
ingredients
mix together dry ingredients - flours, salt, baking soda & powder, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, steel-cut oats
beat together egg and buttermilk
blend together wet & dry ingredients, but do no work the dough too much or you bread will be tough
loosely form the dough into a "loaf" on a lightly greased and floured baking sheet - I added left-over sunflower and pumpkin seeds to the top for texture
bake at 350 for 35 to 45 minutes, remove from baking sheet and let cool - see? easy!
YUMMY!! (and good for you, too!)
