*Heat the honey until it's liquefied.
**Dried herbs such as tarragon, thyme and marjoram.
Grease a 9 x 5" loaf pan.
In large mixing bowl, combine flours, oats, baking powder and salt.
In a smaller, separate bowl, whisk together egg, honey and buttermilk until well blended. Stir in caraway seeds and herbs.
Pour all at once over dry ingredients; blend together with a wooden spoon or spatula until evenly combined. Pour into prepared pan; brush top with melted butter.
Bake at 350 F. for 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool slightly in pan, then turn onto a wire rack. Bread freezes well.
To vary, add 1 tb minced, sauteed onion; chopped, cooked bacon; or grated Cheddar cheese.
Enright suggests serving this bread with lamb stew.
