Irish Brown Bread No1 Monica Sheridan Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
4 cup stone ground
1 whole wheat flour
2 cup white flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cup buttermilk or sweet milk
Recipe Preparation
Mix the whole wheat flour throughly with the white flour, salt, and
soda.
Make a well in the center and gradually mix in the liquid. Stir with a
wooden spoon. You may need lass, or more liquid - it depends on the
absorbent quality of the flour. The dough should be soft but
managable.
Knead the dough into a ball in the mixing bowl with your floured
hands. Put on a lightly floured baking sheet and with the palm of
your hand flatten out in a circle 1 1/2 inches thick. With a knife
dipped in flour, make a cross through the center of the bread so that
it will easily break into quarters when it is baked.
Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes, reduce the heat to 350 degrees
and bake a further 15 minutes.
If the crust seems too hard, wrap the baked bread in a damp tea cloth.
Leave the loaf standing upright until it is cool.
The bread should not be cut until it has set - about 6 hours after it
comes out of the oven.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyWhen deciding on a weight loss program, it is essential to try to restrict your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Make low carbohydrate bread crumbs for breadcrumb coated foods. Although you can possibly buy low carbohydrate bread crumbs, you can make them yourself by simply using low carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is toast the reduced carb bread in your oven on a baking tray. Once it is hard, grind it up in your food mill. To store, keep in a tupperware container.
* Don't skip meals Most reduced carb recipes are, errmm.., low in carbs. Your body must have energy, and carbs are a fast acting energy source. A reduced carbohydrate diet needs more care in managing your energy intake, as any energy given by protein and fat is much slower acting.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, onions and spring onions)
The alliaceae family of foods is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is very little real proof published, allyl sulphides are also thought to aid in blood circulation, arteriosclerosis and fatigue.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so should be included in your weight loss regime.
