Soda bread

This makes a tiny loaf. Double it, and/or make more than one.

  • 7/8 cup flour
  • 1/8 cup oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp rosemary
  • 1/2 cup parmesan
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 egg white, beaten to blend
Preheat oven to 375F with rack in the middle. Melt butter.

Stir together all the dry ingredients. Pour buttermilk and butter over the mix an stir with a fork until moistened.

Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Knead gently until the dough comes together, about 7 turns. Shape into a ball, flatten a bit, and place on a cookie sheet. Brush the top with the beaten egg white, and carve a small X in the top.

Cook for 45 minutes, then cool for 30 minutes.
