Ailbhe's brown bread

Bread
recipe

In Ireland, we don't tend to use the term "soda bread"; simple brown bread is far more common, or "wheaten bread" up north. You'd be hard pressed to order a bowl of soup in any restaurant in the country without a slice or two on the side; a plate of smoked salmon isn't worth having without proper brown bread. This recipe makes a hefty two pound loaf, which doesn't last the day with family over; it's named for my seven year old sister, who knows the old recipe better than anyone. We had Americans stay with us during the summer - they ate a loaf for dinner one night, and another for breakfast the next morning, too!
