Step by Step Method

Step 1

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Stir butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until melted and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 2

Stir flour, oats, sugar, rosemary, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in large bowl to blend. Pour buttermilk and melted browned butter over flour mixture; stir with fork until flour mixture is moistened.

Step 3

Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Knead gently until dough comes together, about 7 turns. Divide in half. Shape each half into ball; flatten each into 6-inch round. Place rounds on ungreased baking sheet, spacing 5 inches apart. Brush tops with beaten egg white. Sprinkle lightly with ground black pepper. Using small sharp knife, cut 1/2-inch-deep X in top of each dough round.

Step 4

Bake breads until deep golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool breads on rack at least 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Step 5

Baker's Wisdom, you'll get the most tender soda bread by kneading the dough gently and briefly, just until it comes together, so the gluten is minimally developed.

I made two so we could have some to eat with our Irish Stew last night and wanted extra to have for toast this morning. Delicious with pats of butter and extra good toasted with jam!

KATO BABY

I love the addition of the brown butter Marra, it gives the soda bread a nice deep rich flavor. Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. I made 1/2 the recipe for myself. It was quick and easy to make and I am still enjoying this treasure. It's lovely cold or toasted. I can't wait to share this with my hubby, he is going to love it.
