Recipe: Irish Brown Bread
Description: Growing up my mom was &quot;forced&quot; to always eat brown bread. I guess I'll be making this for my grandmother soon! Posting for ZWT 6 from Sunset Magazine.
Ingredients: [{"text": "1 cup all-purpose flour"}, {"text": "2 tablespoons sugar"}, {"text": "1 teaspoon baking powder"}, {"text": "1 teaspoon baking soda"}, {"text": "1/2 teaspoon salt"}, {"text": "1 1/2 tablespoons cold butter or 1 1/2 tablespoons margarine"}, {"text": "2 cups whole wheat flour"}, {"text": "1/4 cup regular oats or 1/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats"}, {"text": "1 1/2 cups plain nonfat yogurt"}, {"text": "milk"}]
Instructions: In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture forms fine crumbs. Stir in whole-wheat flour and oats.
Add yogurt; stir gently. If mixture is too dry to hold together, stir in milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, just until dough holds together; it should not be sticky.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured board and knead gently 5 times to make a ball. Set on a lightly greased baking sheet. Pat into a 7-inch circle. With a floured knife, cut a large, deep X on top of loaf.
Bake in a 375&deg; oven until well browned, about 40 minutes. Cool on a rack. Serve warm or cool.
