Irish Brown Bread

Pin It


This hardy rustic "Irish Brown Bread" is perfect for
sopping up stews.  Crusty on the outside and
remarkably light in the middle.  Unlike some
of the recipes I tested that were so heavy they
could have been used as weapons.  Thoughts of
some guy in a kilt loading one up in a catapult
and hurling it over the castle walls came to mind.

So I added a little extra rising power to this recipe
and a bit of brown sugar gives it a slightly sweet
taste.  The use of bread flour with the whole wheat
 flour lightens it up as well.

This rustic quick bread recipe will go perfectly
with "Guinness Stew"
