Method
1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or Dutch oven with butter.
2
Combine dark rye flour, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.
3
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk and brown sugar.
4
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together using a wooden spoon until a thick, shaggy dough forms; do not overmix.
5
Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, pressing it gently with floured hands to create a slightly domed top.
6
Score a cross into the top of the dough with a sharp knife, cutting about ¼-inch deep.
7
Bake for 40-45 minutes until the bread is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
