From the kitchen of Phil O'Brien
Mohill, Co. Leitrim, Ireland


1 lb. (4 cups) brown flour (whole wheat flour)
1/2 lb. (2 cups) self-raising flour, sieved
2 teaspoons bread soda (baking soda), sieved
3 heaping dessertspoons (tablespoons) porridge oats (old fashioned rolled oats)
3 heaping dessertspoons (tablespoons) pin head oatmeal (quick oats)
2 heaping dessertspoons (tablespoons) oat bran
2 heaping dessertspoons (tablespoons) wheat bran
1 heaping dessertspoon (tablespoon) castor (superfine) sugar
1 heaping dessertspoon (tablespoon) sesame seeds.
2 ounces margarine (1/2 stick)
1 egg & 1 pint buttermilk combined
Pinch of salt

Oven 350Double Boiler

A Bain-Marie or double boiler trackingcomes in handy. The size depends on what recipe you are preparing. This Brown Soda Bread recipe calls for a larger size.

Mix all dry ingredients together. Rub in margarine with your fingertips. Add egg/buttermilk mixture and stir until it resembles thick porridge. Pour into greased 2 pound loaf pan (or square cake tin) and flatten out with fork.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour in a bain-marie (covered double boiler). Remove from bain-marie and cook in oven at 350 for 30 minutes longer or until it sounds hollow when tapped with knuckles. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.

Note: I did not have a bain-marie, so I covered a wire rack with foil, placed it in my electric frying pan; filled the pan with water, just to the bottom edge of the rack; placed the bread pan on the rack, put the cover on, and baked it for 1 hour with the control set at 350 (you may need to add a little more water if it evaporates).

I carefully removed the hot bread pan from the makeshift bain-marie and finished baking it in a preheated oven at 350 for 30 minutes. It worked great and the bread turned out the way it should have...delicious!
