A friend of mine introduced me to Irish brown bread. In one of his jobs, he had to bake six loaves a day so he could make it without a recipe! This lovely bread is a heavy, nutty loaf and is delicious when toasted and served with butter. This recipe conversion for the Thermomix and is based on this recipe from the Irish Food Board. I’ve modified it to make it more like the one that I remember.

1 egg

Pour into the loaf pan and even out on the top
Bake in the centre rack for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean

Notes

Store-bought buttermilk is thicker than the buttermilk you get from making butter from cream. For this recipe, the store-bought stuff stops the dough from being too runny.
