How to Make Five Grain Soda Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rye flour, oat flour, barley flour, and cornmeal.
  3. Add the baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
  4. Stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a round loaf.
  6. Place the loaf in the prepared baking pan.
  7. Cut a deep cross on top of the loaf with a sharp knife.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy toasted or with your favorite spread!
