Ultimate Irish Oat Soda Bread
Ultimate Irish Oat Soda Bread bakes up with a rustic, crackly crust and a tender, moist crumb. Nutty rolled oats and a hint of brown sugar bring gentle sweetness that pairs well with butter, jam, or hearty soups. Serve warm for breakfast or alongside dinner when you want a cozy, homey loaf without yeast.

In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Cut the butter into the mixture with a pastry blender or your fingers until it looks like coarse crumbs.

Stir the buttermilk into the flour mixture with a fork just until the dough comes together; knead it 5 times in the bowl. Turn the dough onto a floured surface; using floured hands, knead 8 to 10 more times; shape it into a 6- to 8-inch loaf.

Set the loaf on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon flour over the top. Using a serrated knife, cut a long 'x' across the top of the loaf.

Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is golden, sounds hollow when tapped on top, and reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees F (88 degrees C), 45 to 50 minutes.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
