Ingredients

  • teaspoon double-acting baking powder 
  • teaspoon baking soda 
  • 1.5 tablespoons butter cold
  • cup flour all-purpose
  • 14 servings milk 
  • 1.5 cups yogurt plain
  • 0.3 cup oats 
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • tablespoons sugar 
  • cups flour whole-wheat

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • knife
  • blender

Directions

  1. In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture forms fine crumbs. Stir in whole-wheat flour and oats.
  2. Add yogurt; stir gently. If mixture is too dry to hold together, stir in milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, just until dough holds together; it should not be sticky.
  3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured board and knead gently 5 times to make a ball. Set on a lightly greased baking sheet. Pat into a 7-inch circle. With a floured knife, cut a large X on top of loaf.
  4. Bake in a 375 oven until well browned, about 40 minutes. Cool on a rack.
  5. Serve warm or cool.
