Irish Brown Soda Bread

Preheat the oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour with the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda. Add 1 3/4 cups buttermilk and cooled butter and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough is well combined. If the dough is still dry and crumbly, gradually add up to another 1/4 cup of buttermilk until it comes together into a shaggy dough.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it 10 times. Shape the dough into a 9-inch round loaf and transfer to a baking sheet. Slash an X about 1/4 inch deep in the top of the bread. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the bread is golden and the bottom sounds hollow when lightly tapped. Transfer the soda bread to a wire rack and let cool completely.
