Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 c Flour, whole wheat
1 c Flour, all purpose
1 tb Salt
1 t Baking soda
3/4 ts Baking powder
1 1/2 c Buttermilk, yogurt, or milk
-soured with lemon juice
Combine the dry ingredients and mix thouroughly to
distribute the soda and baking powder, then add enough
buttermilk to make a soft dough but firm enough to
hold its shape. Knead on a lightly floured board for 2
or 3 minutes, until quite smooth and velvety. Form
into a round loaf and place in a well buttered 8 inch
cake pan or on a well buttered cookie sheet. Cut a
cross on the top of the loaf with a very sharp floured
knife. Bake in a preheated 375F oven for 35-40
minutes, or until the loaf is nicely browned and
sounds hollow when rapped with the knuckles. (The
cross will have spread open which is characteristic of
soda bread.) From _Beard on Bread_.
