This Irish Soda Bread is healthier than traditional, as it's packed with much more fiber and nutrients due to the whole wheat and oat flours. This is a quick bread recipe that relies on the reaction between baking soda and buttermilk, giving you a delicious bread in a fraction of the time. It goes great with my Cauliflower Mash Shepard's Pie for a hearty dinner

- 2 3/4 cup (250 g) Oat flour
- 1 1/2 cup (180 g) Whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp (8 g) Cornstarch
- 1 tsp (6 g) Baking soda
- 1 tsp (6 g) Salt
- 1 1/2 cup (366 g) Buttermilk
- 1 large (50 g) Egg

1. Preheat your oven to 450F, and take out a large cookie sheet. Lightly grease it with oil. For a crispier crust, you can instead bake on a preheated pizza stone. Just use parchment paper, so it's easier to get the loaf in

2. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl - oat flour, whole wheat flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined

4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry. Using a wooden spoon, gently stir the mixture until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix

5. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times to shape it into a round circle. Place the shaped dough into the prepared skillet or baking pan

6. Using a sharp knife, score a cross on the top of the dough. This helps the bread expand while baking

7. Bake in the preheated 450F oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 400F, and continue baking for another 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is deep golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom

8. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing

9. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or freeze for longer storage
