Brown Oatmeal Soda Bread
2 1/4 c white flour
2 c wheat flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 c oatmeal
2 c buttermilk
1 egg
Soak the oatmeal in the buttermilk while you mix the other ingredients together. Add the egg to it and beat it a bit.
Whisk the dry ingredients together. Pour in the wet ingredients and stir or knead until you have a sticky but manageable dough. Shape into 2 7″ round loaves or 1 larger loaf and bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees on a greased cookie sheet.
Then revel in its goodness. :)

I was informed that true IRISH soda bread does not contain eggs and only receives it’s leavening from baking SODA.
*grin*
(Actually, the oatmeal part sounds yummy… I’m going to have to try this! And I’m going to add honey instead of sugar… cause I’m just contrary that way ;-)
I forgot the egg once. It worked just fine. :) I haven’t tried honey yet, though I did try brown sugar, which was a trifle less sweet and quite nice. Lemme know how it turns out!
