Ger's Wheaten Oat Bread

Submitted by Miheehee

"Ger makes the best Brown Bread and I finally got the recipe (and promptly modified it to pair down the ingredient list and raise the percentage of whole wheat flour)."

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 16

ingredients

• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup steel cut oats
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 - 2 1⁄2 cups buttermilk

directions

1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Sift dry ingredients together.
3. Add milk until slightly sticky.
4. Mix minimally, just enough for a raggy texture. DON'T KNEAD!
5. Shape into a circle, 2 inches tall, and place on floured cookie sheet.
6. Cut deep cross into the top with a sharp, floured knife.
7. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until a rap to the bottom sounds hollow.
8. **note** technique is key with soda bread. This is one of those instances where YouTube is a better medium than a written recipe. I highly suggest you watch some video tutorials before attempting soda bread for the first time.
