Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a shallow baking pan with cooking spray.

  2. Sift together the bread flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking soda, and 2 teaspoons sugar in a bowl. Cut the margarine into the flour mixture until pieces are nearly indistinguishable. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the oil and buttermilk. Stir with a spatula until dry mixture is completely moistened. Move the dough to a lightly-floured surface. Lightly knead the dough for no more than 1 minute. Place the dough into the prepared pan, pat down and around to form a round loaf. Cut a cross into the top of the loaf with your finger. Brush the top with 1 tablespoon buttermilk, sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over the top of the loaf.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), rotate pan and bake another 30 minutes.

  4. Allow loaf to cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Recipe Note

My husband, a native Northern Irishman, loves this bread with a bowl of tomato and lentil soup or with butter and cheese or jelly. It really is so easy to make and comes out perfectly every time! I hope you will enjoy it too!
