The ingredients for Irish Wheaten Bannock are:

1 cup unbleached white flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
Rounded 1/2 TSP baking soda
1/2 TSP salt
1 CUP plus 2 TBSP buttermilk, divided

Here is how you make Irish Wheaten Bannock:

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Combine flours, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir with a fork until thoroughly integrated.2. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in about half the buttermilk. Use a round-bladed table knife, quickly draw the flour into the liquid. Keep adding remaining buttermilk until almost all the flour has been gathered into a moist dough. Gently and quickly knead the remaining flour in the bowl. You'll want a soft dough, not a wet one. Add a bit more flour or buttermilk as needed.3. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and QUICKLY knead until smooth, then shape into a circle about 1-inch thick. Note: Do not use more than a few quick strokes when kneading the dough. The whole process, from the moment you add the buttermilk to the moment you shape the loaf, should take no more than 3 or 4 minutes.4. Place bread on a lightly floured baking sheet (flour only where the bread will go). Score bread into quarters by cutting a 1/4 inch deep cross into the top of the loaf.5. Bake bread for 25 to 30 minutes or until nicely browned underneath and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom with your knuckles. Turn out onto a rack to cool.Prep Time: 10 minutesBaking Time: 20-25 minutesMakes: 4-8 servings (calculated at 4)From The Intimate VegetarianNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SMO203.
