Here's a brown bread recipe from Co. Clare Ireland. Since I've started making it with KA Irish-style Wholemeal Flour it tastes exactly as it did at the B&B where I got the recipe! It had a bitter taste when made with regular ww flour. That's gone when using the Irish style! It's rich, dark and begs for Irish butter or clotted cream and jam! 3 1/2 c KA Irish-style wholemeal flour 4 Tbsp oatmeal 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 c mixed seeds and grains (poppy, sesame, millet, quinoa, wheat berries, etc) 1/2 c coarse chopped nuts (any kind) 2 Tbsp butter, cut in pieces 2 Tbsp honey or dark molasses 2 c buttermilk Preheat oven to 425 Oil a loaf pan Combine dry ingredients Add butter and cut in until it looks like coarse crumbs Make a well in the center and add buttermilk and honey or molasses Stir from center incorporating flour a bit at a time. Dough will be soft and sticky. Bake about 40 minutes or until tester comes out clean. Bread wil be dark brown. Turn out on rack and cool.
