Mccann's Oat Brown Bread is a classic Irish bread that combines whole wheat flour and oats for a hearty and nutritious loaf. This bread has a slightly dense texture that is perfect for spreading with butter or jam for breakfast or serving as part of a sandwich for lunch. Mccann's Steel Cut Oats give this bread an extra layer of nuttiness and texture that sets it apart from other brown bread recipes. While this bread takes a bit longer to make than traditional white bread, the end result is well worth the effort.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2.	Combine the bread flour, whole wheat flour, quick-cooking oatmeal, Mccann's steel cut oats, baking soda, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl.
3.	Add the chilled butter pieces and buttermilk to the bowl.
4.	Mix everything together until combined and a sticky dough forms. Knead lightly for 2-3 minutes.
5.	Divide the dough in half and form each half into a round loaf.
6.	Place the dough on a baking sheet and make a deep cross in the center of each loaf.
7.	Bake for 25-30 minutes until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
