"The secret to this tender bread is in your hands:  don't overwork the dough--just lightly knead it." 
 The caption under the accompanying photo says
 "Irish Wheaten Bread splits around the middle as it bakes, sort of like a large biscuit." 

 Combine first 5 ingredients in food processor and pulse until well-blended. 
 With the processor on, drop margarine through food chute, and process for 10 seconds.

 Combine buttermilk and egg whites; stir well.  With the processor on, pour the
 mixture through food chute, and process for 20 seconds or until dough leaves
 sides of bowl and forms a ball.  Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface
 and lightly knead about 10 times.

 Pat the dough into an 8-inch round cake pan coated with cooking spray,
 and cut a 1/4-inch-deep X in top of the dough.  Bake at 375 deg. F
 for 45 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remove bread from pan and let coo
l completely on a wire rack.  Cut bread into wedges.
