Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups Whole wheat flour
1 cup Flour, all-purpose
1 tablespoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking soda
3/4 teaspoon Baking powder
1 1/2 cups Buttermilk, yogurt or milk
- 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 375 F 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.)
