Irish Brown Yeast Bread
« on: March 29, 2010, 11:05:25 am »
ILB, yes here it is.  I converted to make in the TM.

IRISH BROWN YEAST BREAD - Donal Skehan

450g wholemeal plain flour
430g water
2 tsp instant dried yeast
1 tsp treacle
1 tsp salt
Small handful of mixed seeds

Oil and flour a loaf tin (21x11x6cm). Preheat oven 220 C.

Place water and treacle into TM bowl and heat 37 C/2 mins/speed 3. Until heated and treacle has dissolved.

Add flour, salt & yeast and combine on speed 3/20 secs (will be a wet mixture).
Drop into the prepared tin, sprinkle with seeds and cover with cling wrap or a damp tea towel.
Place in a warm spot for approx 20 mins. (I left 35 till reached top of tin).

Bake for approx 45-50 mins.  (check with a skewer after about 25 mins, mine looked almost done, so took out of tin and placed on oven rack for a few more mins.

Donal's notes:
This bread is very moist and will last for up to a week. You can store it in an airtight container.  It also freeze brilliantly for up to a month, so you could also make a few extra to save for later.

Perfect to serve with a hearty soup or made into a chunky sandwich.

I made this today and loved it. The crumb is different to many other breads however it certainly doesn't affect the taste. I will definitely be making this again and again. A longer review can be found here. http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?board=40.0

Just perfect for soup and slurping up casserole juices. That's what I am doing with some of it tonight.

I've no idea Judy.  I can't remember, it's so long ago (since I made it).  I will report back when I make it as to whether it happened with me too.  :)

Me too.  So it's just plain wholemeal flour not bakers wholemeal?

I was searching for JuliOs so the search engin couldn't find it. Thanks CC? A better search engin would be nice. It looks a simple recipe but the shine intrigues me.

Me too Gert, can't remember that.  Will have to make again to find out  ;D

Judy, yes plain flour.  The recipe came from this book, he's an Irish cook.
