Irish Soda Bread

2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup regular flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 415F. Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in buttermilk until a soft dough is formed. If dough seems too dry, add an extra splash of milk. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead gently for 30 or 40 seconds, until well combined. Pat into a large round about 2 inches thick. With a knife, make an "x" on the top surface of the bread. Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet for 30-40 minutes, until brown and risen slightly. Remove and serve, perhaps warm with fresh butter and blackberry jam or smoked salmon.
