Brown Soda Bread

A traditional recipe for an Irish favourite.

In a bowl, sieve together the salt, cream flour and bread soda.
Add the wholemeal, wheatgerm and bran and mix together. Add enough milk to make a soft dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured board. Knead until the mixture comes together smoothly.
Place dough on a floured baking sheet. Cut a cross over the top.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C/400°F/Gas 6 for 40 - 45 minutes.
When baked, the bread will have a hollow sound if tapped on the base. Cool on a wire tray.
A tea towel wrapped over the bread at this stage will give a softer crust.
