Irish Brown Bread

Growing up my mom was "forced" to always eat brown bread. I guess I'll be making this for my grandmother soon! Posting for ZWT 6 from Sunset Magazine.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Yields: 1 loaf

Ingredients

• 1  cup all-purpose flour
• 2  tablespoons sugar
• 1  teaspoon baking powder
• 1  teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons  cold butter or 1 1⁄2 tablespoons margarine
• 2  cups whole wheat flour
• 1⁄4 cup  regular oats or 1⁄4 cup  quick-cooking rolled oats
• 1 1⁄2 cups plain nonfat yogurt
•  milk

Directions

1. In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture forms fine crumbs. Stir in whole-wheat flour and oats.
2. Add yogurt; stir gently. If mixture is too dry to hold together, stir in milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, just until dough holds together; it should not be sticky.
3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured board and knead gently 5 times to make a ball. Set on a lightly greased baking sheet. Pat into a 7-inch circle. With a floured knife, cut a large, deep X on top of loaf.
4. Bake in a 375° oven until well browned, about 40 minutes. Cool on a rack. Serve warm or cool.
