I make Irish Soda bread fairly frequently, usually with added wheat bran and wheat germ. The one I made for St. Pat’s Day this year had a 1/2 cup oatmeal flour ( oats ground in blender) which kept it amazingly fresh and tender for several days. I highly recommend ground oats in the mix of flours, I’m looking forward to repeating it. The recipe came from The View from Great Island website and I finally got around to making it after saving it for several years.
