Irish Brown Bread
Julie Taylor
"This is a delicious brown bread closest to what we ate while in Ireland. It isn't Irish soda bread, which has a completely different taste and texture. We LOVE this recipe!"

Ready In
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Mix all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture forms fine crumbs.
- Stir whole-wheat flour and quick-cooking oatmeal into the butter mixture.
- Gently stir yogurt into the oatmeal mixture. If mixture is too dry to hold together, add 1 teaspoon milk at a time, just until dough holds together; it should not be sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; knead gently about 5 times to form a ball.
- Place the dough in the center of the prepared baking sheet; cut a large 'X' in the top of the loaf.
- Bake in preheated oven until well browned, about 40 minutes; transfer to a rack to cool. Bread can be served warm or cold.

Great recipe, just like the brown bread we had in Ireland. I have to admit, I did change the sugar to molasses. It just seemed more appropriate, more like what they would have used long ago....

Love this bread! It is so easy to make and has wonderful flavor. I only had Greek yogurt, so I increased the milk to about 2 Tbs to adjust for the thicker consistency. The recipe said to use a b...
