I finally received my King Arthur flour and in celebration I baked a loaf of brown bread to go with dinner.  There is nothing like a solid ploughman’s platter to highlight a rich,  nutty loaf of deliciousness.

To put it simply, the flour is banging.  I’m in bread heaven.

• 3 cups King Arthur Irish Flour
• 1 cup wheat bran
• 3 tablespoon wheat germ
• 1/2 cup white flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg
• 2 cups butter milk
• 1/4 cup honey
• steel cut oats from sprinkling

1. Preheat oven to 380-degrees.  Mix dry ingredients to incorporate.

2. Beat the egg with the milk and honey.  Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.  The batter should look like a thick oatmeal.

3. Spray a 9-inch baking pan and spoon in batter.  Shape the loaf and sprinkle with the 10-grain. 

4.  Score the loaf with and “X” and bake for about one hour.  Rotate pan halfway through for even baking.
