Rustic, wholesome, and packed with texture, Five Grain Soda Bread is your go-to recipe for a quick and healthy homemade loaf. Made with a hearty blend of whole wheat and all-purpose flours, plus nutrient-rich oats, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and pumpkin seeds, this bread offers a delightful crunch in every bite. With no yeast required, the baking soda and buttermilk work together to give the bread its signature rise and tender crumb, making it perfect for those who love fuss-free baking. Ready in under an hour, this soda bread is ideal for serving alongside soups, stews, or simply slathered with butter and a drizzle of honey. Packed with fiber and flavor, this five-grain masterpiece is as nourishing as it is delicious.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, salt, and baking soda. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and honey until the honey is dissolved.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir until a rough dough forms. Avoid overmixing; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a round loaf. Do not knead the dough excessively.
Transfer the loaf to the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, score a deep cross into the top of the loaf (this helps the bread cook evenly).
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite soup.
