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

In Ireland the brown bread is made with "wholemeal" flour, usually Odlum's brand ie a coarsely ground wheat flour. Very hard to find in US. King Arthur Flour makes an "Irish-Style" wheat flour as a substitute ..to use for making "brown bread". Substituting plain US "whole wheat flour" will never give an authentic brown bread, sadly :( For recipes google "brown bread Ireland" ..there are many from pubs etc from natives. Cheers!

I have found an online store "foodireland.com" that's here in the US (I called and checked!) and they carry a full line of Odlums Flours and sooo many other wonderful Irish food products. I'm ordering flour today!
