Irish Brown Soda Bread with Seeds
This hearty Irish brown soda bread is a variation on the traditional loaf, incorporating wholemeal flour and a blend of seeds for added texture and nutty flavor. It's a quick bread, meaning it uses baking soda as a leavening agent instead of yeast, making it fast and easy to prepare. Perfect served warm with butter or as an accompaniment to soups and stews.
🧂 Υλικά
- 1.5 cups Wholemeal flour(about 180g)
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour(about 190g)

In a large bowl, whisk together the wholemeal flour, all-purpose flour, porridge oats, mixed seeds, baking soda, and salt.

Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using your fingertips or a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Pour in the buttermilk and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently shape it into a round, flat loaf, about 1.5 inches (4 cm) thick. Avoid kneading.
