Whole Wheat Brown Sugar Soda Bread
Preheat oven to 180oC/350oF.


3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1 Tbsp baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 tsp baking soda

2 tsps caraway seeds (optional)

6 Tbs unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces

1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Grease a baking sheet and set aside.
Combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, salt, soda and caraway seeds in a food processor and pulse 2 times just to blend. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Pour in the buttermilk and pulse just to combine.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board, knead 3 or 4 times and shape into a ball.
Using a serrated knife, make an X on the top of the bread. Sprinkle with additional caraway seeds if desired.
Place on the prepared sheet and bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
