Brown Soda Bread With Oats Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch bread pan.
• In a large bowl, mix together flours, steel-cut oats, rolled oats, brown sugar, salt and sifted baking soda. Mix well with your hands.
• Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Pour in buttermilk. Working from the center of the bowl in concentric clockwise circles, with fingers outstretched, stir buttermilk into flour mixture. (You can use a rubber spatula instead if you don't like getting dough on your hands.) This should take about a half a minute at most. Dough will be quite moist. Use a rubber spatula to scrape into bread pan and smooth out the dough to fill pan evenly ( the pan will be filled only about halfway.)
• Place in the oven and bake 40 minutes, until dark brown and a tester inserted comes out clean. Remove from pan and cool on a rack.

Steps:

• If using sour milk, prepare and set aside.
• In a large bowl mix 2 1/4 cup of the flour with the rest of the dry ingredients.
• Form a well in the center.
• In another bowl (or large measuring cup) whisk together the egg and milk.
• Pour milk mixture into the dry ingredients and fold until JUST combined.
• Turn out onto floured surface and knead the other 1/4 cup of flour into the bread being careful not to overwork the dough.
• Cut dough in half.
• Form into 2 round loaves.
• Cut a cross into the top of each loaf.
• Dust with flour and sprinkle with additional oats.
• Sprinkle baking sheets (I prefer to use baking stones) with oats to prevent sticking and bake loaves at 350 for 30-35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Spray loaf pan 9"x5".
• In a large mixing bowl mix all dry ingredients.
• Melt butter add molasses and stir well.
• Mix buttermilk and eggs together.
• Pour all wet ingredients into flour mixture.
• Stir with wooden spoon until just combine.
• Don't over mix or it will be dry.
• Spoon into loaf pan and sprinkle oats on top as a garnish.
• Bake 35 - 40 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when you tap the tops with your fingers.
• If necessary, cover with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning.
• It will double in size.
• Let it cool for 5 minutes and remove from pan.

Steps:

• In a mini-food processor, fitted with a metal blade, pulse the oatmeal until the meal is very fine. Remove from the processor and turn into a mixing bowl. Stir the buttermilk into the oats and cover with plastic wrap. Let the oatmeal steep in the buttermilk for 12 hours.
• In a mixing bowl, sift the other ingredients together. Stir in the steeped oatmeal and mix well. If the mixture is too wet add a little more flour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with the butter.
• Lightly dust the work surface with some flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead the dough a couple of times to form a soft ball like shape. Press the dough into a round about 2 inches thick. Using a sharp knife, make a criss-cross cut into the bread. Place the bread in the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Serve the bread warm with butter.

Steps:

• Into a large bowl sift together 2 1/4 cups of the all-purpose flour, the baking soda, the baking powder, and the salt and stir in the whole-wheat flour and 1 cup of the oats. Add the buttermilk and the egg and stir the mixture until it forms a dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it, kneading in as much of the remaining 1/4 cup all-purpose flour as necessary, until it forms a manageable but sticky dough. Halve the dough, form the halves into round loaves, and put them on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle the loaves lightly with the additional oats, dust them with flour, and bake them in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they are browned lightly. Let the loaves cool on a rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Butter 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Combine first 8 ingredients in large bowl; mix well. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles fine meal. Stir in enough buttermilk to form soft dough. Transfer dough to prepared loaf pan. Bake until bread is dark brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Turn bread out onto rack. Turn right side up and cool on rack.

Steps:

• Mix the dry ingredients very well.
• Moisten with the sour milk to form a soft dough.
• Knead lightly.
• Form into a round, mark with a cross, place on a tin and bake for 30-45 minutes in the oven at 220°C.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C and dust a baking sheet with flour. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then rub in the butter. Pour in the buttermilk and mix it in quickly with a table knife, then bring the dough together very lightly with your fingertips (handle it very, very gently). Now shape it into a flat, round loaf measuring 20cm/8in in diameter.
• Put the loaf on the baking sheet and score a deep cross in the top. (Traditionally, this lets the fairies out, but it also helps the bread to cook through.) Bake for 30-35 minutes until the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. If it isn't ready after this time, turn it upside down on the baking sheet and bake for a few minutes more.
• Transfer to a wire rack, cover with a clean tea towel (this keeps the crust nice and soft) and leave to cool. To serve, break into quarters, then break or cut each quarter in half to make 8 wedges or slices - or simply slice across. Eat very fresh.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sprinkle cornmeal onto a baking sheet or spray with cooking spray.
• Combine 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Stir buttermilk into flour mixture using a fork just until dough is blended; knead 5 times in the bowl. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead dough using floured hands 8 to 10 times; shape into a 6- to 8-inch loaf.
• Place loaf on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon flour over loaf. Cut a long 'x' over the top of the loaf using a serrated knife.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bread is golden, sounds hollow when top is tapped, and internal temperature is 190 degrees F (88 degrees C), 45 to 50 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.
• In a large bowl, stir together whole wheat flour, white flour, rolled oats, baking soda and salt. Gently mix in the buttermilk until a soft dough is formed. Knead very lightly. Divide dough into 4 pieces; form into rounded flat loaves. Mark each loaf with an 'X' and place on prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/2 cup oats, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
• In another bowl, mix together sour cream, milk, honey, and sugar. Add to the flour mixture, and mix just until well blended. Stir in melted butter or margarine.
• Turn dough onto a lightly sprayed baking sheet. Shape into a round, lightly mounded circle, about 8 inches diameter. Brush the top of the loaf with melted butter or margarine, and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon oats. With a knife, score the top of the loaf into quarters.
• Bake for about 40 minutes, or until browned. Cool completely before slicing.

Steps:

• Grease a baking sheet; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in margarine or butter til mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Make a well in center of the dry ingredients. Stir together one beaten egg and buttermilk or sour milk, then add mixture all at once into the dry well. Using a fork, stir just till moistened. (Dough will be sticky at this point).
• Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface. Quickly knead dough by gently folding and pressing dough for 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is barely holding together. (The recipe says until nearly smooth, but mine never really got smooth because of the oatmeal.).
• On the prepared baking sheet, shape dough into a 6-inch round loaf. On the top of the loaf, cut a 4-inch cross, 1/4 inch deep. Brush with the remaining beaten egg (or, if you want a more rustic look to your loaf, skip this step). Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 35 minutes or until done. Remove from baking sheet and serve warm. Can be eaten with soup, stew, applesauce, etc. It is a relatively dense bread, so do not be afraid at how heavy it feels when you lift it off the baking sheet.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Lightly dust the surface of a baking sheet with flour.
• Stir together the flours, oats, sugar and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.
• Using your fingertips, quickly rub in the butter.
• Make a well in the centre and gradually stir in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon until the dough is soft and manageable.
• (You might not use all the buttermilk.).
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 1 minute.
• Divide in half.
• Shape the dough into two balls and place in the centre of the baking sheet.
• Use the palm of your hand to flatten the dough into disks about 1 1/2 inches thick.
• Use a sharp knife to cut a fairly deep cross into each disk so that it will break apart easily into quarters after baking.
• Bake for approximately 35 minutes or until browned and the tester emerges clean and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
• Cool slightly on a rack before serving warm.

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Stir butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until melted and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir flour, oats, sugar, rosemary, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in large bowl to blend. Pour buttermilk and melted browned butter over flour mixture; stir with fork until flour mixture is moistened.
• Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Knead gently until dough comes together, about 7 turns. Divide in half. Shape each half into ball; flatten each into 6-inch round. Place rounds on ungreased baking sheet, spacing 5 inches apart. Brush tops with beaten egg white. Sprinkle lightly with ground black pepper. Using small sharp knife, cut 1/2-inch-deep X in top of each dough round.
• Bake breads until deep golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool breads on rack at least 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Baker's Wisdom:
• You'll get the most tender soda bread by kneading the dough gently and briefly, just until it comes together, so the gluten is minimally developed.
