Irish Brown Bread Recipe

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Mix all-purpose flour sugar baking powder baking soda and salt in a bowl.

Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture forms fine crumbs.

Stir whole-wheat flour and quick-cooking oatmeal into the butter mixture.

Gently stir yogurt into the oatmeal mixture. If mixture is too dry to hold together add 1 teaspoon milk at a time just until dough holds together; it should not be sticky.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; knead gently about 5 times to form a ball.

Place the dough in the center of the prepared baking sheet; cut a large 'X' in the top of the loaf.

Bake in preheated oven until well browned about 40 minutes; transfer to a rack to cool. Bread can be served warm or cold.
