Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 °F with rack in middle.

  2. Blend flours, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and butter in a large bowl with a pastry blender or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. 3Stir in buttermilk and eggs until a smooth dough forms. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and divide into 3 pieces. Form each piece into a 16-inch-long log and arrange, evenly spaced, on a lightly floured baking sheet. Generously sprinkle with flour and cut 3 diagonal shallow slashes on each log with a very sharp knife.

  3. Bake 30 minutes, then reduce oven to 375 °F and continue to bake until a wooden pick or skewer inserted into center of a loaf comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

  4. Transfer loaves to a rack to cool. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
