How to Make Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk (or milk and lemon juice) and melted butter (if using).
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently shape it into a round disc about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick. Avoid kneading.
- Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a floured knife, cut a deep cross (an 'X') into the top of the bread, cutting almost all the way through.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This allows the bread to firm up and develop its best texture. Enjoy!
