My Mothers recipe for Brown Bread - it can't be beaten!!

It's so easy to make, takes ten minutes to prepare.
Total cost for 2 loaves approx €0.95cent, dep on brand of product you buy!
Cooking Time: 45mins

No appliances needed, only a bowl and a fork!
P.S. Just double the amounts for two loafs - easier cos 1 is never enough! (can be frozen).
P.P.S. Use bun tins to make scones if you prefer!

  1. 1 1/2 average coffe cup of wholemeal flour
  2. 1/2 cup self raising flour
  3. 1/2 cup wheatgerm
  4. 3/4 cup whole bran - you can get this in Eurospar or Superquinn ( try not to use really fine stuff)
  5. 1/2 lite of buttermilk - just buy Tescos own brand
  6. 1/2 teaspoon of bread soda
  7. Olive, Sunflower or Vegetable Oil (don't buy especially - use what you have)
Chuck 1,2,3,4 & 6 in a bowl! Stir together. Add buttermilk and stir again!
Use loaf tins - Tescos are €5 each. Put a little oil in tin and rub around edges with your fingers, pour in the mixture to 2/3 of the tin. One tip I would suggest is the deeper the tin the better the bread! It Rises!

Cook at 180deg for first 15mins and then reduce to 160deg for last 30mins. If you have a fan assisted oven put a bowl with water on the top shelf (oven safe) to stop the bread from drying out.

Wait til cool and remove - Voila!!!!!!
Homemade Brown Bread you will love, and alot cheaper than buying it!
