Hargadon's Brown Soda Bread is a traditional Irish bread that is easy to make and requires only a handful of ingredients. Unlike other breads, it does not require any yeast or rising time, making it a great option for busy mornings. This bread is hearty and wholesome, commonly enjoyed as a breakfast staple or served as a side to soup or stew. The recipe uses whole wheat flour, which is a healthier option than regular white flour, making it a nutritious and satisfying choice for any meal of the day.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined.
3.	In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.
4.	Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until well combined to form a dough.
5.	Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly. Shape the dough into a round loaf.
6.	Place the loaf onto a floured baking sheet and score the top in a cross shape with a sharp knife.
7.	Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is lightly golden and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
