Irish Brown Bread (Whole Wheat Soda Bread)

• 175 grams Whole wheat flour
• 50 grams White flour
• 2 Tbsp Wheat bran (optional)
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 tsp Baking soda
• 200 ml Buttermilk - OR - 100 ml milk + 100 g yogurt
• 1 tsp Caraway seeds (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 400F/200C.
2. In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients.
3. Fluff it up a bit with your hands or whisk to add some air.
4. Roughly mix in the buttermilk (or milk/yogurt mix) until the dough just comes together.
5. Without kneading too much (kneading will make the dough dense), form a dome-shaped dough and place on a greased baking pan (you can use wax paper, etc.
6. too).
7. With a knife, cut a cross shape into the dough about 2/3 deep.
8. Bake at 400F/200C for 10 minutes.
9. Then lower temperature to 350F/180C and bake for another 15-20 minutes.
10. Lastly, turn the bread upside-down and bake for 5 more minutes.
11. Remove from oven and wrap in a tea towel or cloth to prevent the bread from becoming too hard.
12. Let cool a bit and dig in!
