I didn't grease and flour my tin as it is a true bread tin and doesn't need it. I wonder if that is why it was so shiny. We have just had some more of the bread with leftovers from last night.

Irish Brown Yeast Bread

Had to make the Irish Yeast Bread.

I nearly dropped it as I was putting it in the oven and that I think is why if fell in the middle. I Did get the shine on it but of course not on the bottom as I had to put baking paper in my bread tin bottom as this tin has small holes in it and it is a very wet dough.




After rising 40  minutes





48 minutes cooked.

Oh my,  this does look good.   Thanks for all the photos.  Will have to give this a go.  Need plain wholemeal flour.

Chookie this is an interesting bread full of flavour. I did make a small mistake and added a tablespoon of treacle instead of a teaspoon but I doubt it made a significant difference. DH's is devouring more of it as I type and he is not much of a bread man.

I agree Gert. It is really easy and the flavour is wow! I was worried that the treacle would make it sweet but it hasn't. I'm going to use molasses next time. Probably over the weekend.

The $6 jar of treacle I had to buy will last me two lifetimes! I do have some molasses which I bought a couple of years ago to make pumpernickel bread when I was gifted that Jewish Baker book by a forum member. I use it all the time , the cookbook that is and the molasses is still in the fridge. Yup I will try that one too.
