Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups whole-wheat flour
2 cups all-purpose flour -- plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups buttermilk
1. Preheat oven to 450F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and
sprinkle with a little flour.
2. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt
in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in buttermilk.
Using one hand, stir in full circles (starting in the center of the
bowl working toward the outside of the bowl) until all the flour is
incorporated. The dough should be soft but not too wet and sticky.
When it all comes together, in a matter of seconds, turn it out onto
a well-floured surface. Clean dough off your hand.
3. Pat and roll the dough gently with floury hands, just enough to
tidy it up and give it a round shape. Flip over and flatten slightly
to about 2". Transfer the loaf to the prepared baking sheet. Mark
with a deep cross using a serrated knife and prick each of the four quadrants.
4. Bake the bread for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400F and
continue to bake until the loaf is brown on top and sounds hollow
when tapped, 30 to 35 minutes more. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack
and let cool for about 30 minutes.

NOTES :
Soda breads are hearty Irish staples - wholemeal flour with large
flakes of bran and wheat germ, or white flour or a mixture leavened
with baking soda and moistened with buttermilk. The acid in the
buttermilk reacts with the baking soda, which is an alkali, creating
bubbles of carbon dioxide which rise the bread. Soda breads have the
heft of a yeast bread but are made in minutes and the dough can be
shaped into scones or a round loaf, depending on the occasion.
Originally it would have been baked in a bastible (pot oven) over the
open fire.
