Brown Soda Bread

Here is a quick and good recipe for a Brown Soda Bread, a staple in Irish cooking. 

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup wheat germ
• 1 tbs brown sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 1 tbs molasses

     Preheat oven at 350F. Combine first six ingredients together in a bowl until mixed well. In a separate bowl combine the buttermilk, egg, and molasses until blended.  Add to flour mixture until combined. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until able to form into a ball.  Split into two equal loafs.  Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a pick inserted in center comes out clean.  Enjoy with a nice stew or with some jam.
