TRADITIONAL IRISH BROWN SODA BREAD

Unlike many of the recipes here, none of the soda bread that I have ever eaten in Ireland was sweet or contained sugar, so here is a recipe for a traditional soda bread from Keith Floyd. This is great with Irish Stew but also a handy recipe to have in reserve for the times that you run out of bread and can't face going to the shops. Do feel free to substiute buttermilk for the sour milk in this recipe.

"Odlums Flours" are a national brand in Ireland and for generations the recipes found on their packaging have been enjoyed. My Mother always made bread from an Odlums recipe and I have kept it the same....hope you enjoy. It goes great with stews and soups. I also like to serve it with smoked salmon, a combination you are bound to enjoy.

Time 50m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
15 g wheat germ (I put in 1/8th of a cup)
500 ml 2% buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Sieve the Salt, Bread Soda and All purpose flour into a bowl. Mix in the Wholewheat flour and wheatgerm. Add enough milk to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until the mixture comes together. Place on a floured baking sheet forming into a round loaf (approx 10" diameter).
  • Place into a preheated oven (central position) and bake at 375 to 400 F for 40 to 45 minutes. When baked the bread will sound hollow when you tap it on the bottom. Cool on a baking rack or wrap in a dry tea towel to give a softer crust.
  • Enjoy.
