Five-Grain Soda Bread Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 cup All-purpose flour (see note)
3/4 cup Whole-wheat flour
3/4 cup Rye flour
3/4 cup Graham flour
3/4 cup Rolled oats
2 tbsp Granulated sugar
1 tbsp Baking powder
1 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt
3 tbsp Soft margarine or veg. oil
3/4 cup Raisins (optional)
1 3/4 cup Buttermilk
OR 1 3/4 tb lemon juice
OR 1 3/4 tb vinegar
Plus milk to make 1 3/4 cup

Recipe Instructions:

Mix vinegar or lemon juice with milk for sour milk and set aside. If
using powdered skim milk, use almost 2/3 cup powder and enough water
to make 1 1/2 cup milk. Stir, then add lemon juice, then add enough
water to make the 1 3/4 cup measure.

If you do not have all the different kinds of flour, use what you do
have to make 3 1/4 cups, or try 1/4 cup wheat germ or bran plus 3 cups
all-purpose flour. Make a note of the ingredients and a note of the
result.

Sugar could possibly be left out, especially if 2 tbsp. or more of
raisins (or finely chopped dates) are used.

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut in margarine or oil. Stir in
raisins (if using) and add buttermilk or sour milk to make a soft
dough.

Knead lightly on a floured surface until smooth. Place on a greased
baking sheet and flatten into a circle about 2 1/2 inches thick. Cut
large X about 1/4 inch deep on top. OR make 2 smaller loaves.

Bake at 350 F for about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in the
center comes out clean.

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
