Irish Soda Bread
Graham flour is coarser than regular whole-wheat flour, which also works. If you use the latter, substitute one-half cup wheat bran for one-half cup all-purpose flour.  Ingredients 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 1 cup whole-wheat graham flour 2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1 2/3 cups buttermilk
Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350*F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Whisk together the flours, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl. With a pastry blender or your fingertips, blend in butter until it resembles small peas. Add buttermilk all at once; stir with a fork until mixture holds together. 2. In the bowl, pat the dough into a domeshaped loaf about 7 inches in diameter. Lift out dough; transfer to lined sheet. 3. Lightly dust top of loaf with flour. Cut a 3/4-inch-deep cross in top, reaching almost all the way to edges. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until deep golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Serves 4 to 6.
