Round Loaf of Irish Brown Bread
Reflecting on my trip all around Ireland, I can't help but miss the culinary feasts. We ate a lot of great food and drank a lot of Guinness. Now, as I look back, I am so happy to share a recipe I learned while I was there. Meeting locals and spending time with them is the best way to learn the traditions and food staples. Irish Brown Bread was born with simple ingredients yielding a nutty, grainy taste! Yeast-free and No-Knead are just 2 phrases that makes this bread even more attractive to make and bake! Irish Brown bread is great as toast or cubed up in soup when leftover. You'll not find a more simple recipe than Irish Brown Bread to grace your table. Truly savory, and hearty. Simple ingredients always yield the best flavor! This bread can be made any day of the week, all you need is about an hour to bake, and you are all set to go. A wonderfully nutty flavor with an amazing crust!
