Brown Soda Bread Loaf With Caraway Seeds and Rye image

Some regional variations on Irish soda bread, from Donegal and Leitrim, call for caraway seeds. I love caraway seeds in bread, but in my personal food memory bank they will always be paired with rye. So I decided to add a little rye flour to this already dark brown, grainy and moist bread.

Time 1h

Yield 1 loaf, about 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 11

Soft butter for the bread pan
125 grams (approximately 1 cup) whole-wheat flour
32 grams (approximately 1/4 cup) unbleached all-purpose or bread flour
25 grams (2 heaped tablespoons) steel-cut oats, either regular or quick-cooking (optional)
40 grams rolled oats
60 grams (approximately 1/2 cup) rye flour
4 grams (approximately 1 teaspoon, tightly packed) brown sugar
3 1/2 grams (1/2 teaspoon) salt
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
10 grams (2 teaspoons) baking soda, sifted
290 grams (approximately 1 1/4 cups) buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch bread pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix together flours, steel-cut oats, rolled oats, brown sugar, salt, caraway seeds and sifted baking soda. Mix well with your hands.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the buttermilk. Working from the center of the bowl in concentric clockwise circles, with fingers outstretched stir buttermilk into flour mixture. (You can use a rubber spatula instead if you don't like getting dough on your hands.) This should take about a half a minute at most. Dough will be quite moist. Use a rubber spatula to scrape into bread pan and smooth out dough to fill the pan evenly (pan will be filled only about halfway.)
  • Place in oven and bake 40 minutes, until dark brown and a tester inserted comes out clean. Remove from pan and cool on a rack.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread came out really dense. I'll have to try again.

I'm not a huge fan of caraway seeds, but I found that they added a nice touch of warmth and spice to the bread.

The crust was perfectly crisp, and the crumb was airy and tender. I loved the subtle sweetness that the rye flour imparted.

This soda bread loaf was remarkably simple to put together and turned out absolutely delicious. The combination of caraway seeds and rye adds a distinctive and delightful flavor profile that sets it apart from traditional soda bread.
