TRADITIONAL IRISH BROWN SODA BREAD



Traditional Irish Brown Soda Bread image

Unlike many of the recipes here, none of the soda bread that I have ever eaten in Ireland was sweet or contained sugar, so here is a recipe for a traditional soda bread from Keith Floyd. This is great with Irish Stew but also a handy recipe to have in reserve for the times that you run out of bread and can't face going to the shops. Do feel free to substiute buttermilk for the sour milk in this recipe.

IRISH BROWN BREAD

Known as wheaten bread in some parts of Ireland, this version of soda bread incorporates whole-wheat flour for a heartier crumb. Buttermilk adds a pleasant tang.

Categories     Bread     Bake     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     St. Patrick's Day     Spring     Gourmet

Yield Makes 1 (9-inch) round loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole-wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

IRISH-STYLE BROWN BREAD



Irish-Style Brown Bread image

This humble Irish-Style Brown Bread, which gets a small update with the addition of rye flour, is similar to the one you would find every day on the traditional Irish table, served with butter and jam, smoked salmon, or stew.

  • Form dough into a 6-inch disk. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. With a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 6 wedges, leaving them in place.
  • Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until bread is firm and sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet; let cool slightly. Serve warm or room temperature. (Bread is best the day it's made.)

BALLYMALOE IRISH BROWN BREAD



Ballymaloe Irish Brown Bread image

Categories     Bread     Winter     Side     Bake     Quick & Easy

Number Of Ingredients 7

400 grams whole-wheat flour, preferably stoneground (3 1/2 cups)
50 grams white flour, all-purpose or bread flour (1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
5 ounce water 150ml (5oz), plus 275ml (10oz) tepid water
1 tablespoon dark molasses
10 ounce water 150ml (5oz), plus 275ml (10oz) tepid water

Steps:

  • Mix the flours with the salt in a medium bowl.
  • Pour 5 Oz. (150ml) of water into a small bowl and stir in the molasses, then crumble in the fresh yeast, stirring a couple of times. Let stand until it starts to foam on top, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour the yeast mixture and the remaining 275ml water into the flour and stir until a batter is formed, which will have the consistency of oatmeal. (If using standard whole-wheat flour, the dough will be sticky, and rather wet.) Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Spray a nonstick 9-inch (23cm) loaf pan with nonstick spray and cut a piece of parchment or wax paper to line the bottom of the pan. Scrape the dough into the prepared pan, smooth the top with a spatula or if it's sticky, dampen your hand and use that then drape a kitchen towel over the top (so it's not pressing down on the dough, but just lightly over the top) and let rise in a warm place until the dough reaches the top of the pan, about 20 minutes - although it can vary so just keep an eye on it.
  • efore the dough has almost reached the top of the pan, preheat the oven to 450ºF (230ºC). When the dough has reached the top of the pan, bake the bread for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, decrease the heat to 400ºF (200ºC). Run a knife around the outside of the bread to release it from the pan, tip the loaf out of the pan, remove the parchment paper, and place the loaf upside down directly on the baking rack and let bake another 15 minutes, or until done. The bread is ready when you tap the bottom and it sounds hollow. If using an instant-read thermometer, the temperature should read 190ºF (88ºC). Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.

  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to rise properly and give your bread a light and fluffy texture.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven: This will help the bread to brown evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
