Irish Soda Bread
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 cup whole-wheat graham flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 2/3 cups buttermilk
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Whisk together the flours, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl.
- With a pastry blender or your fingertips, blend in the butter until it resembles small peas.
- Add the buttermilk all at once; stir with a fork until the mixture holds together.
- In the bowl, pat the dough into a dome-shaped loaf about 7 inches in diameter.
- Lift out the dough; transfer to the lined sheet.
- Lightly dust the top of the loaf with flour.
- Cut a 3/4-inch-deep cross in the top, reaching almost all the way to the edges.
- Bake, rotating the sheet halfway through, until deep golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
- Let cool on a wire rack.
