Perfectly Moist Irish Wheaten Bread image

My husband, a native Northern Irishman, loves this bread with a bowl of tomato and lentil soup or with butter and cheese or jelly. It really is so easy to make and comes out perfectly every time! I hope you will enjoy it too!

Time 1h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup bread flour
2 ¾ cups whole wheat flour
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons white sugar
¼ cup margarine
2 cups buttermilk
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon buttermilk
1 teaspoon white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a shallow baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Sift together the bread flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking soda, and 2 teaspoons sugar in a bowl. Cut the margarine into the flour mixture until pieces are nearly indistinguishable. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the oil and buttermilk. Stir with a spatula until dry mixture is completely moistened. Move the dough to a lightly-floured surface. Lightly knead the dough for no more than 1 minute. Place the dough into the prepared pan; pat down and around to form a round loaf. Cut a cross into the top of the loaf with your finger. Brush the top with 1 tablespoon buttermilk; sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over the top of the loaf.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); rotate pan and bake another 30 minutes.
  • Allow loaf to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
