And not only is this humble bread versatile, it&#8217;s also simple to prepare.<\/p>\n<p>We mimicked the wheaty, nutty flavour and rustic crumb imparted by hard-to-find Irish wholemeal flour by combining whole-wheat flour with wheat bran and wheat germ. Cutting this mixture with all-purpose flour and a touch of sugar helped balance out the strong wheat flavour.<\/p>\n<p>The addition of baking powder guaranteed a nicely risen loaf, but we also included baking soda for added browning and the characteristic mineral tang we love in soda breads. Acidic buttermilk contributed even more tangy flavour.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, to force the soft dough to rise upward rather than outward, we baked our bread in a cake pan. Our favourite whole-wheat flour is King Arthur Premium. To ensure the best flavour, use fresh whole wheat flour.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy zepbound online <a href=\"https:\/\/lcmhs.com\/blank\/july-27-2021\/html\/zepbound.html\">https:\/\/lcmhs.com\/blank\/july-27-2021\/html\/zepbound.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p> Wheat bran can be found at natural foods stores or in the baking aisle of your supermarket.<\/p>\n<p>IRISH BROWN SODA BREAD<\/p>\n<p>Servings: 10 (one loaf)<\/p>\n<p>Start to finish: 1 hour (plus 1 hour cooling time)<\/p>\n<p>2 cups (11 ounces) whole-wheat flour<\/p>\n<p>1 cup (5 ounces) all-purpose flour<\/p>\n<p>1 cup wheat bran<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 cup wheat germ<\/p>\n<p>2 teaspoons sugar<\/p>\n<p>1 1\/2 teaspoons baking powder<\/p>\n<p>1 1\/2 teaspoons baking soda<\/p>\n<p>1 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n<p>2 cups buttermilk<\/p>\n<p>Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 F.
