Irish Brown Bread
Irish brown bread is a form of Irish soda bread made with whole wheat flour.  This bread is a staple in my wife's family, a hot cup of Barry's Tea with brown bread topped with butter instantly brings me back to Ireland County Meath; visiting Nana and Pappy.

Ingredients
  • 2 cup All purpose Flour
  • 1.5 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/2 cup Natural Bran
  • 1/4 cup White Sugar
  • 1.5 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1.5 tsp Salt
  • 2 cup Buttermilk (*** Note: For sour milk, add 2 Tbsp of vinegar to the 2 cups of milk.)
  • 1/4 cup cooking oil (Canola Oil)
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl measure flour, bran, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Mix all together and make a well in the center.
  3. Pour buttermilk and cooking oil into the well.
  4. Stir to moisten, scrape into a greased 9x5x3” loaf pan. I like to use a round cast iron dutch oven pot (no lid) to give the bread that typical round shape.
  5. Bake at 350F for 1 hour.
  6. Remove from pan to cool
