Yes, I meant to capitalise all those letters in the title.
Seriously, this recipe is the best and the easiest recipe ever. all you need are the ingredients, a mixing bowl, a mixing implement, a bread tin and an oven that works.
The recipe came from a friend in work, who got it from a work colleague of her husbands. Basically, the husband used to rave about the bread in his work, so finally asked his colleague (who worked in the kitchen) for the recipe. She brought in this recipe the next day for him. Turns out, the bread he had been raving about was actually from a bread mix, and this one would be much better….and yeah it was and is!
Brown Bread
6oz Coarse Wholemeal Flour
2oz Plain Flour
2oz Pinhead Oatmeal
1oz Wheatgerm
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Sugar
275ml Buttermilk.
Just as a note here, I made this last friday and used egg substitute instead of the egg, and goats milk instead of the buttermilk and it was delicious!
This makes 2 x 1lb tin
Mix everything together ( i beat the egg then add it to a hollow in the dry ingredients, then mix the buttermilk in) and pour into a greased tin.
Bake in a 200 degree celcius oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180 degrees celcius and bake for 40 minutes.
I have a large tin, its bigger than a 1lb, and what I usually do is double the amounts and get a good sized loaf.
I had the remnants today, toasted, for lunch with some feta cheese and tomato and it was seriously yum!
Edited a week later to add photos, just for you Bobbi !!
I wish there was a photo…alas…it’s been consumed!

Do you not have to allow bread to rise at all. or make and bake it
