IRISH SODA BREAD 
1 lb (450g) wholemeal flour
4oz (110g) plain flour
2oz (50g) rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 quarters of a pint (450ml) buttermilk
1 cup raisins, currants or dried cranberries (optional)

Combine the flour, oats, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add enough buttermilk to form a soft dough and turn out onto a lightly floured board. Knead the dough very lightly and do not overwork or bread will develop gluten and become tough.

Shape into a large round and place on a greased baking tray. Cut a deep cross in the top of the round.

Bake at 450°F/230°C for 8-15 minutes. reduce temperature to 400°F/200°C for 20-25 minutes until loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath.

Eat whilst still warm!

I tried Irish Soda Bread for the first time today, and so enjoyed reading through your fine recipe. I made a savory version using just wheat flour. Your instructions and descriptions were invaluable. Thank you so much. Jana Mayer, St. Louis, MO USA
