    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    120            grams  bulgur -- (about 3/4 cup), medium (#2)
    1                cup  boiling water
    460            grams  whole wheat flour -- (about 3 2/3 cups)
    8              grams  baking soda -- (1 1/2 teaspoons)
    10             grams  salt -- (about 1 1/2 teaspoons)
    2               cups  buttermilk -- (more as needed)

Irish

Place the bulgur in a bowl and pour on 1 cup boiling water, or enough 
to cover the bulgur by about 1/2". Cover the bowl and allow the 
bulgur to sit for 30 minutes, until all the water has been absorbed 
and the grains are tender.

Meanwhile preheat the oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with parchment.

Place the flour in a large, wide bowl and sift in the baking soda and 
salt. Mix in with your hands or with a wide spatula. Make a well in 
the middle of the flour and pour in the buttermilk. Add the bulgur to 
the well, then mix in the flour from the sides of the bowl to the 
center using a wide rubber spatula, a wide wooden spoon or your 
hands, turning the bowl and sweeping the flour from the sides into 
the buttermilk. Mix until the bulgur and buttermilk have been 
incorporated into the flour, then scrape out onto a lightly floured 
work surface. The dough should be soft and a bit sticky. Flour your 
hands so it won't stick to them.

Gently knead the dough, only enough to shape it into a ball, then 
with floured hands gently pat it down to a 2" high round, about 9" in 
diameter. Place it on the parchment-lined baking sheet and cut a 1/2" 
deep cross across the top.

Place in the oven and bake 20 minutes at 450 F. Turn down the heat to 
375F and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the loaf responds 
with a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom. Remove from the oven, 
wrap loosely in a cloth or kitchen towel, and cool on a rack.
