Auntie Mary's Irish Brown Bread

This is Mary McIntyre's authentic Irish brown bread recipe, sent to me a few years ago by her niece Grace Galligan Dunleavy!

Dry ingredients:
1 cup flour
3/4 cups whole wheat flour
2 tbsp oat bran

1 tsp wheat germ

1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbs sesame seeds

Wet ingredients:
1 egg
2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Preheat oven to 400 F
Combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients.
Using a fork, slowly combine wet and dry ingredients.
Pour into circular cake pan or deep rectangular pan (brown bread is only sold in these shapes in Irish grocery stores!).
Make an X across the top of the batter and sprinkle with more sesame seeds.
Bake until toothpick comes out clean, around 50 minutes.

Amazing accompaniment to tea. Goes great with jam, butter, ham, or cheese. Slainte!
