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. This recipe appears in our cookbook, "A New Way to Bake" (Clarkson Potter).

Time 50m

Yield Makes one 6-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 cups rye flour, such as Bob's Red Mill
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together both flours, baking soda, and salt. Pour in buttermilk and stir until just combined, then knead in bowl two or three times, until all of flour has been incorporated and a shaggy dough forms.
  • 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.)

I'm Irish and this bread is as authentic as it gets. It's just like the brown bread my grandmother used to make.

I was a bit skeptical about making brown bread, but this recipe proved me wrong. It was so easy to follow and the bread turned out perfectly. I love the crispy crust and the soft, chewy interior.
