okay in today's video I'm going to show you how to make a cake of brown bread or
a loaf of brown bread this is something that I started there on the last five
months or 18 months or so I got a book for Christmas never wears home economics
for life or something like that very good but I started making brown bread
and it has turned out to be a real nice loaf of brown bread
it's an Irish sort of bread I hope you find this video useful I think you will
if you've never made a loaf of brown bread before in your life I think this
is a simple way it's beautiful recipe and stick it in the Box down below
underneath the video on youtube okay the first thing you're gonna need to do is
turn on your oven preheat your oven at 200 degrees C so the longer you have the
oven on the better but 10 15 minutes generally is as long as I do it for and
it turns out fine so I'll turn on the oven on 3,000 degrees and then we're
gonna have a look at all of the ingredients and I as I say will put the
recipe underneath this video on YouTube when you can take a look yourself have a
go it's very very straightforward very very easy it only takes ten minutes to
make it it takes 40 minutes after that time to bake it but obviously you can
get on with your life you can do something else
whilst it's baking you can read a book watch TV do a bit of work whatever
you're into whatever floats your boat but bottom line is different about 10
minutes of preparatory work involved in making this this is a seriously nice
loaf of brown bread Irish sort of bit so let's have a look my recipes on my
galaxy Todd Thomas and even though I would probably easily enough be able to
do the brown bread without referring to the recipe I'm a person who believes
very strongly in procedures standard operating procedures and so I like just
to go through the checklist every single time and ensure that I've got the right
the right ingredients and so on so first thing is you need to Bowl obviously and
we'll have a look no for a bowl okay it's not my scale is here and I've got
my bowl a plastic bowl here and your handiest of all so I'm gonna just set
the scales at zero and I'm gonna weigh in the ingredients now so what I'm gonna
do is weigh the ingredients into the bowl and mix them up so very first thing
we need is it from it bounces of strong white flour so strong whites are my used
items but we knew that is run by Authority like you want eight ounces
okay we've got our way down to the strongest ro now we need 8 ounces of
wholemeal flour course wholemeal flour a
bit as the strongest our variance is a cauliflower that we're gonna need two
spoons two teaspoons of Muscovado sugar okay this is Muscovado sugar we put two
teaspoons into into the ball then we put one teaspoon of baking powder or
bicarbonate of soda the either does to think of the same
thing not sure but I've got both and the board work really well so so one
teaspoon of bicarbonate soda then we want salt one teaspoon of salt
then we're gonna put in some seeds some sunflower seeds put in one tablespoon of
sunflower seeds
then we need 3/4 of a pint of buttermilk
so I've got my 3/4 of a pint of buttermilk here I need 2 teaspoons of
melted butter and how about on the pond there at the moment so 2 teaspoons of
melted butter and I need one teaspoon of golden syrup and that's essentially
everything that we put into our loaf of brown bread so I'm gonna put in the
golden syrup there now 1 spoon of us 1 teaspoon
they've got my two teaspoons of melted butter so it's going in there now and I
poured a bit in to the pan in order to get all of the melted butter out of it
so just throw this in the now your knee action either doing skills for the eight
ounces of strong white flour and the advances of wholemeal flour after that
then it's just spoons of stuff you're putting in or whatever
once you've everything in the bowl is simply mix it up with something like
this liquid wooden spoon or a spatula or something of that nature so we'll just
mix it up once to make a stop down it doesn't take much mixing quite frankly
you just want to sort of a dropping consistency or whatever you're not too
hard or too soft but the bottom line is if you follow the instructions I've
given you there and if you follow the instructions on the Nate and you put in
the correct quantities and you're putting three-quarters of a pint of
buttermilk you'll get beautiful brown bread and you
will to be easy to make it only takes about ten minutes as I say it takes 40
minutes baking after that or obviously you can go along do INE like in terms of
your so I can go off on a Saturday morning for example I bake the bread and
I will maybe write a blog post to make a video for my my business with my youtube
channel for my for my some of my websites and so on you know so we mix
this up in the wall fixed on the floor I'll give you a look there now
this is what it looks like well we need now is a baking tin what do you want to
do with your baking tin is you want to put some olive oil or rapeseed oil in it
just push it in with some sort of a brush because it'll prevent the bread
from steam came out to be really easy take it out afterwards just kind of
brush it around with this brush so that's all sides of the tin and the
bottom and so on has the oiler community garden for the olive oil just make a
difference to prevent the bread the dough is sticking to what a big
it's nearly ready to go but not quite because there's three other ingredients
we're gonna put in or put on top of the brown bread to really give it a nice
finish let's make a difference what I already put these on first thing is some
Flavin's porks oh sorry Joel its I just sprinkle them on the top like so then I
put some pumpkin seeds pumpkin seeds I say I hope the rest without at all in
each video and usually achieve yourself
there's some pumpkin seeds and then I'm gonna put some sesame seeds as well so
that's it it's ready to go so we've got a wrong bread kick ready to go or mix is
ready to go and we want to put it in the oven for 40 minutes at 200 degrees C and
we're gonna get a really nice cake brown bread so we do that now and then we just
set the timer for 40 minutes and there you go often and I'll do
something so I go and feed the boards or I'll write a blog post or making video
or and do something useful with myself not to say that this is neutral is I
started making this bread about 12 months ago 18 months ago and it's very
very easy to make and it is beautiful bread and you know for the breakfast
every morning it's really really nice to be able to have good quality Irish soda
bread that you can rely on it's never aware of recipe as a cell phone
underneath when I stick it in the oven now for 40 minutes 200 BC
and then we come back I will have a look and see what it's like I'll show you
what it's like okay the 40 minutes the 40 minutes
baking time is up there now so we're going to have a look and see how the
bread turned out so here's our our brown bread all right this is the Irish soda
bread and we just tip it out there now okay here's our Brown brand Irish soda
bread as you can see there it smells really nice very very straightforward
very very easy to make that bread 10 minutes preparations our cakes the rest
