Irish Wheaten Bread

Wheaten bread is dense, hearty, bread with a hard crunchy crust. It's best toasted and spread thickly with butter!

I changed this recipe slightly from Barrys-Tea.com

4 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 1/2 tbl baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1. Preheat your oven to 350 F and butter a medium sized loaf pan.

2. Mix together the flour, baking soda, salt and sugar in a bowl.

3. Add all of the buttermilk and mix thoroughly until it reaches a doughy substance. If the dough doesn't stick, add a few more tablespoons of buttermilk.

4. Using a lightly floured surface, kneed the dough.

5. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in the buttered pan.

6. Bake for roughly 50 mins.

7. Take out of the oven and let it cool, then slice and serve.
