Irish Brown Bread
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
- 1.5 cups nonfat plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon milk, or more as needed
Steps
- Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Mix all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture forms fine crumbs. Stir in whole wheat flour and quick-cooking oatmeal until combined.
- Gently stir in yogurt. If mixture is too dry to hold together, add milk, a little at a time, until dough holds together; it should not be too sticky.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; knead gently about 5 times to form a ball. Place dough in the center of the prepared baking sheet; cut a large 'X' in the top of loaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven until well browned, about 40 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool. Bread can be served warm or cold.
