Your next challenge is our Irish brown bread!

This loaf, our current favourite, is one of the simplest breads we’ve ever made. Plus, it has all the dense nuttiness that we want from an everyday bread.

Our cooking club features one great recipe for the entire month, including a prize for the best photo entry. So spread the word to all your friends – with nearly a month to enter, fitting a new recipe onto the menu will be a breeze.

March’s challenge: Irish brown bread

Ireland is already famous for its soda bread, but it's this quick-rise, no-knead yeast bread that makes us swoon. Dense and nutty, it's sliced thinly and served with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
