Ingredients
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading surface
- 3 cups whole-wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda, oats and salt. Pour in most of the buttermilk and mix well, adding more buttermilk, if needed, to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and lightly knead into a shapeable dough. Avoid overworking the dough. Shape the dough into a round disk shaped loaf and cut a deep "X" in the top with a sharp knife. Put the dough on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes at 425 degrees F. Lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and bake another 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the bread from the oven to a cutting board. Cool slightly before cutting and enjoy warm!

As I am often want to do, I did improvise a tad.
I had no buttermilk and neither did the market. So I used one cup of milk with a little ACV and one cup of yogurt. I added raisins and 4 TBS of sugar. I also baked it at 425 for the whole 30 minutes. It was great. Today I decided to make a loaf to take to a family gathering. I accidentally grabbed the sour cream when I ran out of yogurt. I figured it wouldn't hurt since some recipes added butter so a little fat would be OK. The batter was very dry so I added 1/2 cup of sour milk.
I will keep you posted.

I leave milk out on the counter for a few days to sour as my Irish gradnma did, rather than use buttermilk. I checked with a few bakers I know who were raised "on the other side" and this is also their method. I liked it with the buttermilk, but the sour milk works and tastes better to me. Ah, well -- to each his own.
To the person looking for rasins and caraway seeds -- that's a breakfast bread in Ireland, this is more the traditional soda bread.
Loved the oatmeal in it!
