Whole Grain Soda Bread

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. With pastry blender or two knives used scissor fashion, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in raisins and caraway seeds. Stir in buttermilk just until flour is moistened (dough will be sticky).

Grease a cookie sheet.

Turn dough onto well floured surface. With floured hands, knead 8-10 times to mix thoroughly (Do not over-mix, or bread will be tough).

Shape into a ball and place on cookie sheet. Sprinkle ball lightly with all purpose flour. In the center, cut a 4 inch cross, about 1/4 inch deep.

Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire rack.
