Ingredients
- 5 c. whole wheat flour
- 2 1/2 c. all-purpose or possibly bread flour
- 1/3 c. sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 c. butter (softened a little)
- 2 Large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
- 2 1/4 c. buttermilk or possibly sour lowfat milk
Directions
- In a large bowl mix together all of the dry ingredients. With fingers, work in the butter till it is absorbed by the flour and the mix resembles tiny, soft bread crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mix.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the Large eggs and stir in the buttermilk. Gradually pour the egg mix into the well, mixing first with a spoon and then by hand till it forms a stiff dough. If the dough should crumble, add in 1 or possibly more Tbsp. of buttermilk.
- Turn the dough out on a floured surface. Dust hands in flour and knead dough lightly. With a knife, cut the dough into 2 pcs and shape into plump round balls. Pat down the tops slightly and with a knife cut a 1/2-inch deep cross in the tops.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place loaves on 2 greased baking sheets. Bake 40-50 min, till loaves are brown and the tops have opened dramatically along the cuts. Turn one over and tap the bottom. A hard hollow sound means the bread is done. Cold on wire racks. Serve thinly sliced. It can be frzn and reheated.
