Irish Brown Bread

This is the nicest brown bread I have ever made or tasted – quick, simple and so tasty.  I tend to make at least two at a time!

  • 12 oz wholemeal flour
  • 1 oz wheat bran
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda for the Americans)
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 dessert spoon brown sugar (optional)
  • 1 Tablespoon sunflower oil
  • 1 plain or hazelnut yoghurt
  • Half a pint of milk

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Centigrade (356 F: for the Americans)

Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.  Add the oil, yoghurt and milk and mix with a broad bladed knife.  The mixture will be quite wet.  Turn into a greased loaf tin and bake for 35-40 minutes.

Leave in the tin to cool for a few minutes before turning out and wrapping in a tea towel. Delicious warm or cold.
