Mary Murphy of Schull, Co. Cork, Ireland, graced us with her presence and her brown bread recipe. Enough of us have enjoyed it over the years that we all wanted to learn how to make it from the expert herself.
Here are the ingredients — she swears that olive oil is what she uses, even at home.

And here is how much sugar goes in — Mary measures everything by hand

This movie shows how wet to make the dough — pretty wet!

And the proud baker herself! Thank you Mary!!

(movies still to come — YouTube is down at the moment)

these are so great — sounds like a wonderful day!
