Hey,

No problem. Here goes:

14oz Wholemeal Flour
2oz Plain Flour
1 Tablespoon Wheatbran
1 Tablespoon Wheatgerm
1 Dessertspoon Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Bread Soda
1 Teaspoon Salt

Mix these together.

Then combine 1 egg beaten mixed into 15 fluid oz of buttermilk or sour milk and 2 tablespoons of oil, and mix with the dry ingredients.

Cook in a 2lb tin for about 50mins at 190deg/gas mark 5-6. Makes one loaf.

Enjoy

I use this recipe too and it's lovely. The brown sugar gives it just the right amount of sweetness.

Regarding seans brown bread, this is different to regular brown bread (superquinn sell also.
The recipe was alter from their brown bread by a head baker named sean,
His alterations were extra salt and extra sugar, (at least i'm aware of only those two)
So seans brown is not as good for you compared to their regular brown.

...not as good for you, but is it nicer?

Only joking. Thanks for recipe milli. Will try.

Hey

Just to let you know there is no sugar in seans brown and very little salt in it aswell.

So you can eat as much as you want and not have to worry about the heart attack:D

Well if it's any use we made the brown bread the last day without any sugar or salt and it still tasted good. If you ever find the recipe you're looking for let us know

I'm guessing no, as I do know it. Seans brown has extra sugar and salt over the normal brown bread

Then you have the wrong recipe Mellor.

All of superquinn's brown soda bread's are low salt bread and there is no sugar in sean's brown and no sugar in their normal brown soda's;)

So guess again;)

Hi to all you soda bread experts out there,
My name is Derek Blake and i am the son and heir to the Seans Brown Bread recipe from Superquinn.
My late Father Sean was the inventor of the Bread, he was indeed a head Baker/Confectioner and was one of the first Craft Bakers employed by Fergal Quinn in 1972. My late father along with a handful of other baker/confectioners were instrumental in establishing the home bakeries in Superquinn for which they became reknowned along with being the highest winner of Bakery awards at home here in Ireland and internationally.
The bread first went on sale to the customers in 1993 from the Walkinstown Branch and soon after throughout the other stores too.It is the number one selling product year in year out in all the Supermarket stores , which is indeed remarkable.
You will see many impersonations of this unique and wonderful Brown bread throughout a lot of bakeries and retail outlets,many may copy it`s individualistic shape but cannot replicate it`s flavour, texture and wholesome content.
A wonderful legacy for my Father to leave behind altogether, and i am sure he would be amused and flattered by the attention it has generated over the years since it`s inception to the vast array of hand crafted products once available from the Superquinn home bakeries.
Kindest Regards to all,
Derek Blake

What a legacy, you must be very proud. There's nothing like Superquinn brown bread.

I've moved this to Cakes & Bakes, the forum may not have existed when this thread was started.
