Irish Brown Bread - whole wheat flour

Method

• Preheat the oven to 375.
• Butter an 8-by-5-inch metal loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk both flours with the baking soda and salt.
• In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk with the egg; stir into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth.
• Form the dough into a loaf and put it in the prepared pan.
• Bake for about 50 minutes, until the bread has risen about 1/2 inch above the rim of the pan.
• Once unmolded, the loaf should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
• Let cool to warm or room temperature, then slice and serve.
