Title: Irish Brown Yeast Bread
Post by: JulieO 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.

Post by: cookie1 on July 23, 2014, 07:26:09 am
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.

Post by: gertbysea on July 24, 2014, 03:21:49 am
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.

Oh my,  this does look good.   Thanks for all the photos.  Will have to give this a go.  Need plain wholemeal flour. 
Title: Re: Irish Brown Yeast Bread
Post by: gertbysea on July 24, 2014, 11:44:13 pm
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.

Gert
Title: Re: Irish Brown Yeast Bread
Post by: cookie1 on July 25, 2014, 02:14:05 am
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.
Title: Re: Irish Brown Yeast Bread
Post by: gertbysea on July 25, 2014, 02:25:08 am
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.

Very easy loaf to make, and now I can report that it tastes great too. Got. Thumbs up from DD this morning and I nicked the crust for brekky this morning- it was lovely and crunchy toasted

Great loaf ES.
Title: Re: Irish Brown Yeast Bread
Post by: judydawn on July 29, 2014, 01:15:17 am
Made this loaf this morning but think I should have cooked it a bit longer - I did 35 mins and it was 207oF when I checked it with a thermometer.  How long did you girls cook yours for please?  Tastes great and will be used for toasting so not a problem. I would use a slightly bigger loaf pan next time because as you can see, it spilled out over one edge slightly.
Easy as, thanks Julie.

Update, had a piece for lunch with soup - it seemed cooked well enough, delicious.  How I managed to stop at 1 piece I don't know.

It looks great Judy. Another loaf to add to the repertoire.

Post by: judydawn on July 29, 2014, 10:23:26 am
It's nice to do something different isn't it Cookie.  I must admit I don't bake much white bread much these days and have been buying wholemeal instead.
Title: Irish Brown Yeast Bread
Post by: Kimmyh on July 29, 2014, 10:36:41 am
I made this for lunch today too. And Judy, unlike you, I didn't stop at one piece. DH gobbled it too. Just don't tell him it has whole meal flour in it. He thinks the treacle makes it brown!!(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/29/u9a3a4ap.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/29/utu6ehy6.jpg)
Oh and I didn't add seeds as there would be no way DH would have tried it!

My DH is ok with seeds but DD won't touch it. However she ate this. As you say the treacle makes it brown. ;D ;D

I love this loaf, it's so tasty.  Mine is now 5 days old and I didn't freeze it as I normally do my bread.  Still going strong, using it for toast now. It seems to take twice as long to brown up but does so beautifully in the end.

Thanks Gert.  :-*

After reading all the comments on this bread I had to have a go.  I made mine yesterday and I only got to taste one slice.  The family arrived and ate the rest.  A lovely bread and I will be making it again.  Sorry, no photos I didn't get a chance to take one. :D

I made another batch of this today as we were out of bread.  It is quick and easy to make and tastes good.
Title: Re: Irish Brown Yeast Bread
Post by: Katiej on August 16, 2014, 04:43:06 am
Finally got around to making this today.
As I was making it I couldn't help thinking this isn't how you make bread! It sort of goes against everything I've learnt about bread baking from the forum and reading books, but it makes a really tasty loaf of bread. The texture is different from other bread I've made, but it's really quick, easy and delicious.

We had it today for lunch - chicken, lettuce & mayo sandwiches. The were lovely.

I felt much the same way with this one, then with Chookie's Soda Bread too. They taste yum, so that's fine by me.
