A freshly baked wholemeal soda bread on a rustic wooden table, featuring a rustic, golden-brown crust with a slightly rough texture and a dusting of flour on top. A few slices are cut to reveal the dense yet soft interior, filled with whole grains. The loaf rests on a wooden cutting board, with scattered oats, a butter knife, and a small dish of butter nearby. Soft natural lighting enhances the warm, wholesome tones.
