4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup BREAD flour
1/3 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 ½ cups low fat buttermilk
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220C)
Lightly grease 1 baking sheet
In a large bowl, stir together whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda and salt.
Gently mix in the buttermilk until a soft dough is formed.
Knead lightly while incorporating all the ingredients. Divide dough into 2 pieces. Form into rounded flat loaves. Using a knife mark each loaf with an ‘X’ and place on prepared baking sheets.
Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 30-40 minutes.
Notes: white all –purpose flour can be used instead of the whole wheat flour
The bread can be divided into 4 pieces instead of 2, just use a second baking sheet.
Make sure to mix and need well just don’t over do. The bread will have a rough top, not a smooth top.
