Ingredients
1.5 c whole wheat flour1.5 c buckwheat flour0.5 c all-purpose flour1 tsp salt1 tsp sugar1 tsp baking soda1 cup buttermilk (low fat)
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to about 450 and cover a small cookie sheet with parchment paper.

1. Mix together the dry ingredients really well. REALLY well. You want the baking soda, salt, and sugar to be as well-dispersed as possible.

2. Make a well in the center, and fill it with buttermilk. Fold and repeat until the cup is used.

3. In the mixing bowl, quickly shape the loaf into a round. Place it on the baking sheet, flatten it until it's about 1.5 inch thick, and cut an X or an asterisk into the loaf. Stab each section a few times with the knife.

Cook until done, about 30 minutes.

Serving Size: Makes 12 servings.

    The taste is good but the recipe is not good. Not enough liquid for 3.5 cups of flours. I added liquid but can tell after the baking-not enough. This does not result in a normal Irish Soda Bread dough. It is dry and very hard to not have it crumb and crack all over as you are pressing it out. - 11/21/17
