   3      cups          Whole Wheat Flour
   1      cup           Flour, all-purpose
   1      tablespoon    Salt
   1      teaspoon      Baking soda
     3/4  teaspoon      Baking powder
   1 1/2  cups          Buttermilk, yogurt or milk
                        with lemon juice
Combine the dry ingredients and mix thouroughly to distribute the soda and
baking powder, then add enough buttermilk to make a soft d
ough but firm enough to hold its shape. Knead on a lightly floured board for 2
or 3 minutes, until quite smooth and velvety. Form int
o a round loaf and place in a well buttered 8 inch cake pan or on a well
buttered cookie sheet. Cut a cross on the top of the loaf wi
th a very sharp floured knife. Bake in a preheated 375F oven for 35-40 minutes,
or until the loaf is nicely browned and sounds hollow
 when rapped with the knuckles. (The cross will have spread open which is
characteristic of soda bread.)
