There’s something magical about the rustic charm of Authentic Irish Brown Bread, a loaf that’s hearty, wholesome, and ready in just over an hour.

Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 1 minute min
Total Time 1 minute min
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup mixed seeds sunflower, sesame, linseed, pumpkin
- 3 tablespoons bran
- 2 tablespoons wheat germ
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon molasses treacle or honey
- 3 1/3 cups milk
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
Add the treacle and stir in enough of the milk to give a wet, almost sloppy mixture.
Pour into a well oiled large loaf tin and bake in an oven preheated 400°F (200°C) for 20 mins until risen.
Reduce the heat to 325°F (170°C) and bake for a further hour.
Run a knife around the tin and ease the bread out. If it sounds hollow when tapped at the bottom it is cooked, if not, return it to the oven for 10-15 mins.
Cool the bread on a cooling rack. Enjoy fresh with butter. Store covered at room temperature for 3-4 days.
