Soda bread is a type of quick bread that is made with baking soda instead of yeast. It is a popular bread in Ireland and is often served with soup or stew. Seeded whole grain soda bread is a healthier version of traditional soda bread, as it is made with whole grain flour and seeds. These nutritious ingredients add fiber and essential nutrients to the bread, making it a good choice for a hearty and wholesome meal.

Steps:
- Mix millet, quinoa, amaranth, 1 cup oats, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl. Cover and let sit 8-12 hours. (Alternatively, bring ingredients to a simmer in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and let sit until mixture is thick like porridge, about 2 hours.)
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil an 8"-diameter cast-iron skillet or cake pan. Whisk whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, flaxseed, salt, baking soda, and 1/4 cup sunflower seeds in a large bowl. Work in butter with your fingers until largest pieces are pea-size. Make a well in the center and add brown rice syrup, oat mixture, remaining 1 1/4 cups buttermilk, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until dough is smooth, homogenous, and still slightly sticky.
- Form dough into a ball and place in prepared pan. Brush with buttermilk; top with more oats and sunflower seeds. Cut a large X into the top and bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of loaf registers 190°F, 55-70 minutes. Let cool in pan.
- Do ahead
- Bread can be baked 2 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
SEEDED WHOLE GRAIN LOAF
My husband and I want whole grain bread, but we don't like the spongy store-bought whole wheat breads. I drastically altered one of my favorite batter bread recipes to create this earthy bread. It is crunchy, chewy and easy. The add-ins are just suggestions. Sometimes I use pepitas, sesame seeds or even 1/4 cup of a multi-grain hot cereal mix. -Amber Rife, Columbus, Ohio

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Coat a 9x5 inch loan pan with cooking spray. I don't use cooking spray, but I will use my butter wrappers or a little olive oil if I don't have any butter wrappers.
- Combine sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, and sesame seeds in a dry medium skillet. Toast over medium heat, stirring until lightly brown and starting to pop 5 to 7 minutes.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of the seed mixture in a small bowl and transfer the remaining seeds to a large bowl.
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the large bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Whisk eggs in a medium bowl, then stir in buttermilk, oats, oil, and honey or maple syrup.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir and fold together until combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the reserved seeds.
- Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the flour, seeds and bicarb in a bowl, then mix together the milk and lemon juice in a small jug and pour it into the dry ingredients. Stir with a knife until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough.
- Tip onto a lightly floured work surface and lightly shape into a ball with wet or floured hands, as it will be sticky to handle. Lift onto a floured baking tray, reshape if required, then sprinkle more seeds over the top and press them in lightly. Bake for 35-40 mins until firm and golden. Cool on a wire rack, then wrap in foil until needed. Will keep chilled for up to four days, or frozen for up to a month.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Put the flour, seeds, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt in a large bowl and mix to combine. Stir the treacle into the yogurt mixture and, when the treacle dissolves, pour onto the dry ingredients. Stir together with the blade of a knife until you have a soft, sticky dough. Leave for 5 mins (this allows time for the liquid to absorb into the bran).
- Tip onto a lightly floured surface and form the dough into a round about 18cm across. It will still be very sticky, so don't over-handle it - treat it like scone dough rather than bread dough. Lift onto the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 mins until the crust is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath.

Tips for Making Seeded Whole Grain Soda Bread:
- Use a variety of seeds: This will give your soda bread a more interesting flavor and texture. Some good options include sunflower seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds.
- Soak the seeds before using: This will help to soften them and make them easier to digest.
- Use whole grain flour: This will give your soda bread a more hearty flavor and texture. You can use all whole grain flour or a mixture of whole grain and all-purpose flour.
- Don't over-mix the dough: Over-mixing will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the dough rest before baking: This will allow the gluten to develop and will make the bread more flavorful.
- Bake the bread in a hot oven: This will help to create a crusty exterior and a soft, fluffy interior.
Conclusion:
Seeded whole grain soda bread is a delicious and healthy bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give seeded whole grain soda bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
