So this afternoon, I took her favorite ingredients and made a loaf of soda bread. It was awesome. Delicious. Hearty. Here's the recipe before I forget it.
Arthur's Hearty Soda Bread
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup bran
1/3 cup flaxseed meal
1/3 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp soda
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp sesame seeds
1 1/2 cup milk
Mix dry ingredients, stir in milk to make a light dough, form into a round, flat loaf (add more whole wheat flour if it's too wet) on a greased cookie sheet. Bake 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool on rack; cool completely before cutting.
(You can also bake it in a greased loaf pan if sandwich-style slices is your goal. I just like round loaves, because they're easier to bake in a Dutch oven. On a campfire. Like God intended.)
Of course, the ultimate test is to make it again. Might tweak the recipe a little, too. But I have proof of concept! It was dense and grainy, but still bread-like enough for a good sandwich. This bread is crying out for ham and brown mustard!
