Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet or an 8- or 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
Knead on a lightly floured surface until dough is smooth and velvety, 2 to 3 minutes. It will seem very crumbly for a while until everything gets incorporated.
Step 3
Form into a round loaf and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Cut a cross on the top of the loaf with a very sharp, floured knife. (The cross is a characteristic of soda bread.)
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until loaf is browned and sounds hollow when you tap on it, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 5
Sift whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together until well combined. Add enough buttermilk to make a soft dough that's firm enough to hold its shape.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • cooking spray
  • 0.75 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1.5 cups buttermilk, or as needed
