Perfectly Moist Irish Wheaten Bread Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-13

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup bread flour
2 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons white sugar
1/4 cup margarine
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon buttermilk
1 teaspoon white sugar

Steps:

  • DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a shallow baking pan with cooking spray. 2. Sift together the bread flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking soda, and 2 teaspoons sugar in a bowl. Cut the margarine into the flour mixture until pieces are nearly indistinguishable. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the oil and buttermilk. Stir with a spatula until dry mixture is completely moistened. Move the dough to a lightly-floured surface. Lightly knead the dough for no more than 1 minute. Place the dough into the prepared pan; pat down and around to form a round loaf. Cut a cross into the top of the loaf with your finger. Brush the top with 1 tablespoon buttermilk; sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over the top of the loaf. 3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); rotate pan and bake another 30 minutes. 4. Allow loaf to cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure your buttermilk is at room temperature before using it. This will help the bread rise properly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will ensure that the bread is light and airy.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help the bread brown evenly.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread retain its moisture.

Conclusion:

Irish wheaten bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect Irish wheaten bread every time.
