Mummy & S Brown Bread Recipe

Brown bread is so easy to make and is so much more delicious when it is homemade. You can also customise it to suit your own tastes, adding seeds, nuts, honey, orange juice etc. It’s a great one for kids to make too as the steps are simple and it produces a sufficiently sticky, messy dough that kids will love to stir and pour into the tin.

This is a recipe that we call “Mummy & S’s Brown Bread”. Through trial and error, we combined and altered other brown bread recipes until we came up with this one. We hope you love it as much as we do!!
