Irish Brown Bread

1½ cups all-purpose flour	2 tsp baking soda
1¼ cups whole-wheat flour	1 tsp salt
¾ cup quick oats	1¾ cups buttermilk
½ cup wheat germ	2 Tbsp honey

Heat oven to 400°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix flours, oats, wheat germ, baking soda and salt.
Whisk together buttermilk and honey. Add to flour mixture; stir to combine until soft dough forms.
Turn dough out onto floured surface. Divide in half. Shape each half into a round loaf. Place loaves 3 in. apart onto prepared baking sheet; bake 25 minutes or longer until bread sounds hollow when tapped. Let cool 15 minutes. *Note: I suggest dividing into three small loaves and bake 2 inches apart*
