Ireland is very much as you imagine it. The beef stew is wonderful, Irish beef is tender and more flavorful than US feedlot beef! Brown bread is smooth and moist like no other!
The people are friendly, and will talk to anyone, so if you’re a talker you’ll be fine, if you’re not a talker take someone with you that IS!
Thanks for t his recipe, my Irish bread always seems to dry compared to what we ate over there, so can’t wait to try this!

In reply to Allison. Hi Allison! I used a 9" round cake pan but you can use a square 8x8 inch pan, too. I've never used a loaf pan but it would probably come out okay in one too!

Do you use a regular size loaf pan for this?

I’m not Irish, but I love St. Patrick’s Day! My cooking instructor is from Ireland and I think she would approve of this bread for sure — it actually sounds like what she was describing to me as a true Irish bread (not the one with currants that I make!) ha Pinning this to try — it looks amazing!

In reply to Juliet. Hi Juliet - great question! You can sub the same amount (1/4 cup) of vegetable or canola oil for the coconut oil and the temperature of the oven will stay the same. The cook time should be the same, too. Around 35-45 minutes. I like mine sort of doughy and soft in the middle so I stick to 35 minutes. Thanks for the question! Let me know how it turns out for you!

Loving this bread, Jen! I’m also afraid to make bread that requires kneading and punching down and the like because it seems too easy to mess up. This one look so easy, and I can almost taste it just looking at your pretty photos!

If I wanted to substitute vegetable oil for the coconut, would I use the same amount? Would anything else change, like the temperature or the time in the oven?

I have never heard of this kind of bread. Do you use hard white or hard red wheat? I grind my own so I wasn’t sure which you had used. I really need to try this. SOON!!!!
