Brown Soda Bread With Oats image

For years I've been trying to make a moist soda bread loaf like the kind I love to eat when I'm in Ireland. Finally I've achieved it with this recipe, which is adapted from Bon Appétit's recipe for Fallon & Byrne Soda Bread (Fallon & Byrne is a restaurant in Dublin). The bread is a whole-wheat loaf with both rolled and steel-cut (pinhead) oats, and does not have the hard crust that round soda breads can have. One reason is that the moist dough is baked at a lower temperature than free-form soda bread.

Time 1h

Yield 1 loaf, about 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

Soft butter for the bread pan
125 grams (approximately 1 cup) whole-wheat flour
62 grams (approximately 1/2 cup) unbleached all-purpose or bread flour
25 grams (2 rounded tablespoons) steel-cut oats, either regular or quick-cooking
40 grams (approximately 1/3 cup) rolled oats
8 grams (approximately 2 teaspoons, tightly packed) brown sugar
3.5 grams (1/2 teaspoon) salt
10 grams (2 teaspoons) baking soda, sifted
290 grams (approximately 1 1/4 cups) buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch bread pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix together flours, steel-cut oats, rolled oats, brown sugar, salt and sifted baking soda. Mix well with your hands.
  • Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Pour in buttermilk. Working from the center of the bowl in concentric clockwise circles, with fingers outstretched, stir buttermilk into flour mixture. (You can use a rubber spatula instead if you don't like getting dough on your hands.) This should take about a half a minute at most. Dough will be quite moist. Use a rubber spatula to scrape into bread pan and smooth out the dough to fill pan evenly ( the pan will be filled only about halfway.)
  • Place in the oven and bake 40 minutes, until dark brown and a tester inserted comes out clean. Remove from pan and cool on a rack.

Overall, I thought this was a good soda bread recipe. It was easy to make and the flavor was good. However, I would have preferred it if it was a little lighter and more moist.

This bread was a bit dry. I think I would have preferred it if it was a little more moist. However, the flavor was good.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were a lot of steps and ingredients involved. I think there are easier soda bread recipes out there.

This bread was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it was a little lighter and more airy. However, the flavor was good.
