Anyway to make Irish Brown Bread SB friendly???

[jvdeibel]

Here's a typical recipe...with the brown sugar I"m not sure how to tweak it to make it doable...any ideas??

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons toasted wheat bran
3 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
2 tablespoons old-fashioned oats
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces 2 cups buttermilk

TIA,
Jennifer

that's not a lot of brown sugar for the size of the recipe.. I wouldn't worry about it myself..

Would you just substitue the all purpose flour with WW flour?

Thanks!

i'd use WW pastry flour if it's on hand... and if you want a brown sugar substitute, sugar twin makes one, or you could use 3.5 T. splenda + 1 teas. SF maple syrup. but I agree it's a small enough amount that it probably won't be too bad...

can I add a recipe for Irish Soda Bread? Modified from allrecipes.com

1.75 c. white WW flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
5 T. splenda + 1 teas. SF maple syrup (to make brown sugar substitute)
3 T. chilled SB-friendly margarine, cut in slices
1/3 c. dried unsweetened cherries or dried apples, tossed & nuked for 30 sec. with 1 teas. splenda, then coated with 1 teas. white WW flour
2 tbsp. caraway seeds
1 c. LF or FF buttermilk (to make buttermilk, see below)
1 egg

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In bowl stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and splenda. Put margarine slices on top of flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or sharp knife, "cut in" margarine until mixture is crumbly. Add cherries and caraway seeds to mixture. Measure 2/3 cup buttermilk. Add egg to buttermilk; beat together. Slowly add liquid to dry ingredients, stirring all the while. Stir well. [if mixture is too liquidy, add 1 teas of WW flour at a time until dough firms up]

Using hands, knead the dough in the mixing bowl. Place in a greased round pan (or form into a rectangle and place in a greased loaf pan). Press down gently on dough so it will fill the pan.

Use sharp knife to cut a cross over the top of the bread (supposed to prevent cracking). Coat the top of the loaf with 1 tablespoon milk for color and shine (may also use egg white). Bake 35 to 40 minutes. Makes 10-12 slices.

To make buttermilk: Place 1 teas. white vinegar in a measuring cup. Add enough milk for 2/3 cup. Stir. Let stand 10 minutes or until thickened.

*bump* - St. Patty's is just around the corner. I made a vegan version of the Irish Soda Bread - so yummy! Also, I forgot to add - it's P2.
