SIX SEED SODA BREAD
One of the farmers markets sells this very heavy dense bread that is chocked full of seeds. Well it is kind of expensive at $4.00 a loaf, so started playing around with some soda bread recipes and came up with this which is close. This is a heavy dense bread that only slices well when cold but tastes better warm. We enjoy it slightly warm with either plain or with flavored butter.*The dough is very sticky see notes in directions*

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- In a small bowl combine all the seeds and set aside.
- Combine the flours, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add all but 2 tablespoons of the seeds.
- Stir the sour milk/buttermilk (recommend using smaller amount and gradually add more milk as needed) into the dry ingredients just to blend (dough will be sticky).
- Turn out dough on to a well floured board and knead about 5 times, just enough to pull it together into a loose ball. (over kneading will make the bread tough).
- Place the dough on a lightly floured baking sheet and mark it with a deep cross across the top, cutting two-thirds to the way through the loaf with a serrated knife.
- Brush with a little milk and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of seeds.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Cool on rack.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400F / 205C. Place a rack in the center of the oven. In a small bowl combine all the seeds and set aside.
- Sift the flours, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the seeds. Make a well in the flour, pour in the buttermilk, and stir until the dough just comes together. If you need to add an extra splash of buttermilk because the dough is too dry, you can. As Hugh says, "Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead lightly for about a minute, just long enough to pull it together into a loose ball but no longer - you need to get it into the oven while the baking soda is still doing its stuff."
- Place the dough on a lightly floured baking sheet and mark it with a deep cross across the top, cutting two-thirds of the way through the loaf with a serrated knife. Brush with buttermilk and sprinkle with the remaining seeds, making sure plenty of seeds make it down into the cracks.
- Bake for 35 - 40 minutes, or until the bread is golden crusted on top and bottom (you may want to move the oven rack up for the last 15 minute if you need more color on the top of the loaf). Cool on a wire rack.
- Makes a single loaf.
