I go through this every year when I try to replicate that great Irish brown bread you get at restaurants in Ireland. It is not the traditional soda bread but a loaf bread that is sliced and eaten with a bit of Kerry Gold butter. If someone has a good recipe, please post it to the list. I am sure I am not the only one who would use it. I'd like to serve at my St Patrick's Day dinner. Again, it is cooked in a loaf pan and not a round bread with the cross on top. Thanks in advance. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Hope this recipe will be helpful. Received it from a bed and breakfast house called Saraville located in the mountains of Wicklow. It was served daily and with every meal, it seemed. Very very good. Brown Soda Bread 20 oz coarse wholemeal flour (I think we would call it whole wheat flour) 12 oz Plain flour (white) 2 teaspoons bread soda pinch salt Handful wheat germ Handful of bran Pint buttermilk 1 egg Mix all dry ingredients together Add milk and egg. Knead gently. Bake in a hot oven approximately 3/4 hour This is how it was written for me, and I can say that it is delicious. Good baking!
