Experience the wholesome, rustic charm of No Yeast Irish Brown Bread, a quick and easy homemade bread recipe that skips the fuss of traditional yeast-risen loaves. This delightful bread features a hearty blend of whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and rolled oats, creating a nutty depth of flavor and a wonderfully dense texture. Leavened with baking soda and enriched with tangy buttermilk, a touch of honey, and melted butter, this quick bread comes together in just 10 minutes of prep time. With no kneading required, it bakes to golden perfection in under 40 minutes, making it the ideal solution for busy days or last-minute cravings. Perfect for slathering with butter or pairing with soups and stews, this traditional Irish staple is as versatile as it is delicious.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and rolled oats. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl or measuring jug, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, and melted butter until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently using a wooden spoon or your hands. Do not overmix – the dough should come together but remain slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round loaf, approximately 5-6 inches in diameter. Avoid kneading the dough too much, as this can make the bread tough.
Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, score a deep cross across the top of the loaf to help it bake evenly.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
