Steps:
- Mix millet, quinoa, amaranth, 1 cup oats, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl. Cover and let sit 8-12 hours. (Alternatively, bring ingredients to a simmer in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and let sit until mixture is thick like porridge, about 2 hours.)
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil an 8"-diameter cast-iron skillet or cake pan. Whisk whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, flaxseed, salt, baking soda, and 1/4 cup sunflower seeds in a large bowl. Work in butter with your fingers until largest pieces are pea-size. Make a well in the center and add brown rice syrup, oat mixture, remaining 1 1/4 cups buttermilk, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until dough is smooth, homogenous, and still slightly sticky.
- Form dough into a ball and place in prepared pan. Brush with buttermilk; top with more oats and sunflower seeds. Cut a large X into the top and bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of loaf registers 190°F, 55-70 minutes. Let cool in pan.
- Do ahead
- Bread can be baked 2 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cook grains; mix them in a large serving bowl.
- Cover onions with hot water, and soak for 2 minutes. Peel and halve onions. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, and toss with 1 teaspoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Roast until caramelized, about 20 minutes. Pour cider over onions, and roast until liquid reduces by half, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Gently toss grains with onions, vinegar, feta, parsley, lemon zest, and the remaining oil, salt, and pepper. Stir in apple, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use a sturdy bread flour: Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which will result in a chewier, more flavorful loaf of soda bread.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the bread tough, just mix until the ingredients come together.
- Let the dough rest before baking: This will allow the gluten to relax.
- Use a Dutch oven or a cast-iron pot: This will help create a crispy crust while keeping the inside of the bread moist.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown: The bread is done baking when it sounds hollow when you tap on the bottom of the loaf.
Conclusion:
Five-grain soda bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of five grains gives the bread a nutty flavor and a chewy texture. The bread is also very versatile and can be served with a variety of different toppings, such as butter, jam, or honey.
