Preheat oven to 375˚. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with a little extra oatmeal.
In a large bowl mix the flours, sugar, baking powder, soda, oatmeal, and salt.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and butter (if using honey versus brown sugar, mix it with the wet ingredients).
Add the wet to the dry and stir with a wooden spoon until moistened.
Add extra flour as needed and knead for 5 turns (right in the bowl, just to bring it all together in a dough mass).
Shape dough into 2 or 3 round loaves using more flour as necessary, and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
Cut the sign of the cross on top of each loaf with a sharp and/or serrated knife.
Bake until brown and crusty, 45-50 minutes.
You will know it’s ready when you thump the bottom of the load; it should have a hollow sound and/or register 200 degrees on a digital instant read thermometer.
Let cool for a bit on a wire rack, then serve with some Irish butter and Irish cheese, or your favorite jam.
