 Bake Irish Brown Bread for home-baked bread speedier than my Speedy No-Knead Artisan Bread. This quick bread stirs up in about 5 minutes and goes straight into the oven.

A staple bread in Ireland, Irish Brown differs from soda bread with a distinctive coarse crumb texture and wheaty flavor plus a touch of molasses. 

I learned to bake this authentic version while visiting friends at their B&B in Tullamore, Ireland, between Dublin and the Galway coast. Our Irish friend John adds crunchy sunflower, sesame, poppy and pumpkin seeds. It was the best brown bread I tasted in Ireland!
