Irish Buttermilk Brown Bread

Ingredients

• •4 cup whole-wheat flour
• •3 tbsp granulated sugar
• •1 tsp salt
• •1 tsp baking soda
• •2 tsp baking powder
• •1 1/2 cup buttermilk
• •2 tbsp melted butter

Steps

1. 1Preheat oven to 400F. Grease an 8" round pan and place a liner on the bottom.
2. 2In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
3. 3Make a large hole in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk and butter. Stir together until blended; some lumps will remain.
4. 4Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead about 10 times, or until it all holds together. Form the dough into a ball and place it in the prepared pan. Cut a deep cross in the top.
5. 5Bake the bread for ~40min, or until a paring knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. 6Remove the bread from the oven, tip it out of the pan, and cool on a rack.
