MCCANN'S OAT BROWN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Lightly dust the surface of a baking sheet with flour.
• Stir together the flours, oats, sugar and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.
• Using your fingertips, quickly rub in the butter.
• Make a well in the centre and gradually stir in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon until the dough is soft and manageable.
• (You might not use all the buttermilk.).
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 1 minute.
• Divide in half.
• Shape the dough into two balls and place in the centre of the baking sheet.
• Use the palm of your hand to flatten the dough into disks about 1 1/2 inches thick.
• Use a sharp knife to cut a fairly deep cross into each disk so that it will break apart easily into quarters after baking.
• Bake for approximately 35 minutes or until browned and the tester emerges clean and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
• Cool slightly on a rack before serving warm.
