Wholemeal Brown Bread

After watching the Ireland vs. Wales 6 Nations GRAND SLAM, I was feeling rather full of Irishness and thought I'd indulge myself in a nice loaf of wholemeal brown bread. It's probably one of the simplest recipes to use and it makes bread making really enjoyable.

Again, like the other breads I've made I use a pint glass to measure the flour. Make sure the buttermilk is at room temperature

1 pint wholemeal self raising flour

1 pint plain flour

1 teaspoon bread soda

Olive oil

Buttermilk

• Heat the oven to 200 degrees celcius, fan assisted

• Sieve the 2 pints of flour into a mixing bowl, add in the teaspoon of bread soda through the sieve as well.

• Add in a tablespoon of olive oil and then add in the buttermilk. Pour in enough buttermilk to make a nice sticky mixture with the flour. 

• Pour into a greased bread tin and bake in the oven for apprx 40 minutes, depending on the oven you are using.
