Easy Irish Brown Bread

This bread tastes fairly close to what we ate in Ireland...plus it is seriously easy to make!

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbs sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 Tbs cold butter or margarine
2 cups whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup regular or quick-cooking rolled oats
1-1/2 cups plain nonfat yogurt
milk

Directions:
1. In a small 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 tsp at a time, just until dough holds together (it should not be sticky).
3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 5 times to make a ball. Set on a lighlt 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 degree oven until well browned (40 mins). Cool on cooling rack. Serve warm or cool.
