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 375f.

---

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 into the dry ingredients just to blend.

---

Turn out dough on to a well floured board and knead about 5 times , just enough to pull it together into a loose ball.

---

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.
