Irish Soda Bread
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1-1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup reduced fat margarine
3 cups whole wheat flour
1-2/3 cups lower fat (2%) buttermilk

Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt into a large mixing bowl. Cut in margarine with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in whole wheat flour with a wire whisk, mixing well. Add buttermilk, stirring until the dry ingredients are thoroughly moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead about 5 minutes. Shape dough into a round loaf; place on a baking sheet which has been sprayed with nonstick vegetable spray. Using a sharp knife, cut across 1/4 inch deep on top of loaf; lightly sprinkle cross with flour. Bake at 400° F. for 40 minutes, or until bread sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from baking sheet and cool completely on wire rack.
