<\/p>\nUp early this morning, to prepare the St.Patrick\u2019s Day table and bake soda bread for breakfast. There are many choices, and this recipe (below) is my current favorite. But I was out of wheat germ, so I substituted bran, resulting in a gutsier product. Great with Irish cheddar, or yogurt and jam (or all of the above, if that is to your taste). Happy St. Patrick\u2019s Day!<\/p>\n

Irish Brown Soda Bread<\/b><\/p>\n
1-1\/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for sprinkling
\n1 cup whole-wheat flour
\n1\/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
\n1\/4 cup toasted wheat germ (or bran)
\n1-1\/2 teaspoons baking soda
\n1 teaspoon salt
\n6 T cold unsalted butter cut into bits
\n1-1\/3 cups buttermilk or plain yogurt (I\u2019ve tried both)<\/p>\n
Preheat oven to 425\u00ba.<\/p>\n
Sprinkle baking sheet with a little flour.<\/p>\n
In a large bowl whisk together flours, oats, wheat germ\/bran, baking soda, and salt. With fingertips rub in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk\/yogurt and mix quickly until dough is evenly moistened. DO NOT OVERMIX.<\/p>\n
Turn dough onto floured surface and shape quickly into neat sphere, sprinkling with more flour as needed. On prepared baking sheet pat dough out into 7-inch round. With sharp knife cut shallow X in top.<\/p>\n
Bake 25 minutes or so (depends on your oven) until bread looks set in center. Cool before serving.<\/p>\n
