Oaty Brown Sugar Soda Bread

• 2 1/2 cups (400 grams) whole-wheat flour
• 1 cup (120 grams) rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 1/4 cups (423 grams) whole-milk kefir

1. Preheat the oven to 400u0b0 F. Line a 4-quart (or close enough!) Dutch oven with parchment. It doesn't need to fit perfectly.
2. Combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Break up the brown sugar with your fingers to get rid of any lumps. Whisk everything together until smooth. Switch to a rubber spatula or wooden spoon and slowly add the kefir, stirring as you do, just until a cohesive dough forms. It will be sticky.
3. Scrape the dough into the Dutch oven and spread to even out. Use a small serrated knife to cut an X, about 1/2 inch deep, in the center. Cover the pot and get it in the oven.
4. Bake for 40 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 5. The bread should be springy to the touch. Cool in the pot until you can grab the bread without burning yourself. Transfer to a rack to cool.
