What have you baked today?

Date flapjacks - cook some dates with a pinch of bicarb and enough water to just about cover the dates - cook till they become a 'sludge'. Leave this to cool. Make up a good qty of flapjack mix, spread half in baking tray, spread the cooled date mix over the top, then the rest of the flapjack. Press it down.
Cook in an over @ about 160 degrees for about 50 mins.

When I was away for a few days the owner of the B&B gave me the following recipe for Irish brown bread. It really is beautiful bread.

However, I was wondering if this is the sort of dough you can mix in a machine or if it is one you have to do by hand.

The recipe below is for 4x1lb loaves I’m inclined to make 2x2lb loaves, one for now and one for the freezer. The bread has good keeping qualities.

The recipe was in lbs and ounces the grams are my conversion

Brown Bread
1 lb 4ozs (570g Plain Flour)
12ozs (340.g Wholemeal Flour)
4 teaspoons bread soda
4 teaspoons salt
4ozs 110g Bran
4ozs 110g Wheat germ
4ozs 110g Castor Sugar
1 litre buttermilk
Few drops cooking oil (I'm guessing a tablespoon but not sure)

Directions:
Sieve flour, salt and soda.
Add bran, wheat germ, caster sugar, and wholemeal and mix together.
Mix in buttermilk and oil
Turn into 4 loaf tins and bake at 180 C for 1 hour, approximately.
Cool on wire rack

It is a very liquid mixture

I presume that bread soda is bicarbonate of soda?

Before I got my BM I used to make soda bread in the oven.It was lovely.I don't remember it being very liquid.

I might try the recipe,though I'd only make one loaf,as I've only got a tiny freezer.

Last night I made hm pizza for my sister and myself, and then halfway through the evening she expressed a desire for pie....so I threw together a cherry pie and it was perfect

I am going to make a simple chocolate sponge cake this morning, watching a kids cookery show this morning gave me the urge to bake!
