Ingredients

  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda 
  • cup buttermilk well-shaken
  • teaspoon caraway seeds 
  • bunch chives fresh trimmed
  • 0.3 cup oats 
  • teaspoon salt 
  • 0.5 pound salmon smoked thinly sliced
  • cup flour all-purpose

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • whisk

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Whisk together flours, oats, wheat germ, baking soda, salt, and caraway seeds in a large bowl. Blend in 3/4 stick cold butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  3. Add buttermilk and stir until dough is evenly moistened. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, dusting with flour to prevent sticking, 1 minute (dough should remain soft and slightly sticky). Shape dough into a ball.
  4. Pat out dough on a lightly floured baking sheet into a 7-inch round. Dust dough with flour and spread lightly over round with your fingertips.
  5. Cut a 4- to 5-inch X (1/2inch deep) in top of dough.
  6. Bake in middle of oven until bread sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a rack 2 hours before slicing.
  7. Make canapés with bread, softened butter, salmon, chives, and pepper to taste.
