Irish soda bread
A very tasty quick bread that can be made in not much more than an hour. Makes great toast, too. 1-1/2 c each all purpose and whole wheat flour 1/4 c sugar 1 TB baking powder 1 tsp each baking soda and salt 2 c buttermilk 1 egg Mix all the dry ingredients together using a whisk, being sure they are well combined. Whisk the egg and buttermilk together and stir into the dry mixture until well but not completely combined. Turn out onto a floured surface. You'll have a shaggy, wet, sticky mess that is nothing like the dough for a traditional kneaded yeast bread. Using floured hands, form as best you can into an 8 inch round and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Using a wet serrated knife, cut a deep cross in the top (very traditional!). Bake at 325f for about an hour, until an instant-read thermometer reads 205-210f in the center of the loaf. Cool on a rack.
