Preparation
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly dust the surface of the baking sheet with flour.
Stir together the flours, oats, sugar and baking soda in a large bowl. Using fingertips, quickly rub in the butter. Make a well in the center and gradually stir in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon until the dough is soft, but manageable.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and knead it for about 1 minute. Shape the dough into a ball and put it in the center of the prepared baking sheet. With the palm of your hand, flatten the dough into a circle that is about 1 1/2 inches thick. Using a sharp knife dipped in flour, make a cross (do not cut too deep) through the center of the bread so that it will easily break in quarters when it is baked. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
Makes 1 loaf.
how 'bout scones?
Scottish Buttermilk Oat Scones
1 cup Oats, Steel Cut
1 cup Buttermilk, at room temperature
1/2 cup Oat Flour
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 cup White Flour, Unbleached
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1/3 cup Currants
Butter for Greasing Baking Sheet
4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, softened and cut into small pieces
1 Tbsp Milk
Cinnamon and Sugar for topping
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the oats in a pie pan and toast them for 20 minutes, stirring often to toast evenly and not burn. When slightly golden, remove. Combine with the buttermilk in a small bowl and let stand for 20 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, sugar, salt and dried currants.
Reset the oven to 400 degrees and butter the baking sheet.
Using a pastry blender, cut the 4 Tbsp. butter into the flour until the texture is coarsely crumbled, then stir in the buttermilk/oat mixture until combined. Flour your hands and scoop the dough, forming it into a ball. Do not over-mix. Press the ball of dough directly onto the pan, then press into a 3/4" circle. With a sharp knife, score the surface, almost to the bottom, making eight wedges. Brush the surface with milk and sprinkle a bit of sugar and cinnamon on top.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Cut into wedges. Makes 8 scones.
