Irish Brown Bread with Smoked Salmon

• 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour plus additional
• 1 cup whole-wheat flour
• 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits, plus 1 stick (1/2cup) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons well-shaken buttermilk
• 1/2 pound thinly sliced smoked salmon
• 1 bunch fresh chives, trimmed

1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Whisk together flours, oats, wheat germ, baking soda, salt, and caraway seeds in a large bowl.
3. Blend in 3/4 stick cold butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal.
4. Add buttermilk and stir until dough is evenly moistened.
5. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, dusting with flour to prevent sticking, 1 minute (dough should remain soft and slightly sticky).
6. Shape dough into a ball.
7. Pat out dough on a lightly floured baking sheet into a 7-inch round.
8. Dust dough with flour and spread lightly over round with your fingertips.
9. Cut a 4- to 5-inch X (1/2inch deep) in top of dough.
10. Bake in middle of oven until bread sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, 45 to 50 minutes.
11. Cool on a rack 2 hours before slicing.
12. Make canapes with bread, softened butter, salmon, chives, and pepper to taste.
