Irish Brown Bread
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F. Grease a loaf pan and pop aside.

  2. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Using a whisk, give them a good mix to break up any lumps and aerate the ingredients.

  3. In a measuring cup / jug, combine the buttermilk and honey. Using a fork, give it a quick mix.

  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients to the bowl. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix all the ingredients together until they are just combined, but no more. It should be a wet and sticky dough, unlike a traditional bread dough.

  5. Place the dough into the greased loaf pan. Using a spoon dunked in water, smooth out the top of the loaf. With a sharp knife, make a cut on the top of the dough down the center of the loaf.

  6. Pop the loaf into the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until cooked through and golden on top.

  7. Remove the dough from the loaf pan and turn out onto a wire rack to let the bread cool. You can tell when a loaf of fresh bread is cooked when you tap on the base and get a hollow sound.
