How to make Brown soda Bread
Brown bread is EASY to make, and can be used like any other bread. I have adapted a basic recipe to include ground flax seed for flavor and nutritional value.
So, here is my recipe for brown bread. So we do purses. Add all dry ingredients to the bowl and just mix them together well. Add it all at once. All ready so just turn it a few times with the wooden spoon to just comes together. Now to do is to pour it down to the canter. Little bit of flour its kind of a wet dove. So just have to need a full minute until all kind of holds together nicely.
Not have to really overwork. Its going to become very stiff if you overwork. It’s now divided in here. And there would be one to do is kind of just formed into a nice round. The same reason a bit of flour it’s a bit sticky, but that’s fine. Fist him out a bit to flatten it but not really.
Maybe there should be a little more than around 2 inches high. And what we doing next is cut in across in it to go away down to size. And that’s it. They are ready to go in the oven. You can do it in any pan that you have or two separate pans if you don’t have one pan large enough. So place in 400 degree oven that’s been pre heated. And it should be about 45 minutes for that.
Well there is a nice golden color. Picked it out of the pan. Tap it on the bottom, nice hovel sound. Its done.
And now next step just is just put it on raps to cool. Enough side down muffin pan makes it great cooling…..
So, there you have a nice little brown bread. Plenty of butter and a nice cup of tea.
Here is the recipe.
PRE-Heat oven to 400f/205c
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1+2/3 cup whole wheat flour*
1/3 cup ground flax seed*
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
*-substitute 2 cups whole wheat flour for the wheat flour/flax seed combo.
-Add the dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix well. I used a pastry blender, but a spoon is good enough.
-Pour all of the buttermilk into the bowl. Mix with a spoon just until combined. the dough will be loose and crumbly.
-Pour out the dough onto a counter(I used waxed paper). Knead gently for a minute until everything holds together.
-Divide the dough into 2 loaves. Shape each loaf into a round. Press lightly to flatten the loaves. Cut a cross from side to side into the loaves. DO NOT cut too deep, just enough to split the surface of the bread.
-Transfer to a baking pan or 2 pans. I used a cast iron pan to help brown the exterior and give more “crunch” to the bread.
-Place in a Pre-Heated 400f oven for 45 minutes. The bread is done when you hear a hollow sound when tapping on the bottom of the loaf.
-cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Can be enjoyed hot from the oven, but if you cut it too soon the escaping steam will leave you with a dry loaf.
ENJOY !
