Irish Brown Bread
Irish Brown Bread is a hearty, flavorful loaf with a crumbly, crusty exterior and a dense, moist interior. Made with whole grain flour, oats, and buttermilk.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Irish-Style Flour 320g (may use whole grain flour instead)
- 1 cup all purpose flour 120g
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 c buttermilk 340g
- 2-3 tbsp black treacle or molasses
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1/4 cup oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the flours, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl; set aside.
- Combine the buttermilk, treacle, and butter; whisk well as treacle will settle in the bottom.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour buttermilk mixture into the well and stir to combine.
- Knead in the bowl a few times to form dough into a ball. Try not to add too much flour or work dough too much or the bread will be tough.
- Pat dough into a disk on the baking sheet. Sprinkle oats on top and pat to help adhere to dough.
- Cut cross into dough, being careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool bread at least 20 minutes before slicing.
