Simple Molasses Brown Soda Bread

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups All purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• ½ cup Rolled oats
• 1½ teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1¾ cups Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Molasses
• 1 ½ teaspoon Sesame seeds or sunflower seeds – for topping

Instructions

• 1 Pre-heat the oven to 450F (230C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 2 In a large bowl combine together the flours, oats, salt and baking soda and set
  aside.
• 3 In a medium bowl whisk together the buttermilk and molasses.
• 4 Make a well in the centre of the flour mix and pour in the buttermilk mixture.
  Using a fork stir the liquid with the flour until almost completely combined.
  Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured flat surface and knead lightly to form
  a soft dough.
• 5 Shape the dough into a circle and place on the prepared baking sheet. Press the
  dough on top to flatten it and with a knife, cut a cross on the top. Sprinkle
  seeds on top before baking.
• 6 Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 400F (205C) and
  bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the bottom of the bread sounds hollow.
  When ready, transfer the bread onto a wire rack to cool down. Slice and serve
  warm. Enjoy!
