Brown Bread

Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm water, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Knead Dough

Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

First Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape and Second Rise

Punch down the dough, shape into a loaf, and let it rise again for 30 minutes.

Bake

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

Irish Scones

Shape Scones

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead for a few seconds. Pat into a circle about 1 inch thick, then cut into wedges.

Bake

Place scones on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden.
