Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). |
| 2 | Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and oats. |
| 3 | Add buttermilk: Slowly pour in the low-fat buttermilk, stirring continuously until a sticky dough is formed. |
| 4 | Knead the dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes until there are no bits of flour at the bottom of the bowl and the dough is smooth and elastic. |
| 5 | Shape the dough: Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each part into a round loaf. |
| 6 | Bake: Place the loaves on an ungreased baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. |
| 7 | Check for doneness: To ensure the bread is properly baked, insert a knife into the center; if it comes out clean, the bread is ready. |
| 8 | Adjust consistency if needed: If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour. If it is too dry, add a splash more of buttermilk. The dough should be sticky and moist. |
| 9 | Cool and serve: Once baked, allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite spreads or enjoy it as is. |
