While traveling in Ireland, Marie encountered this delicious bread, in many guises, on every table and in every bread basket, from country hotel to manor house to castle.

The recipe Marie got from chef Kay O’Flynn at Rathsallagh House, Co. Wicklow, called for “wholemeal.” In this recipe we approximate it with a combination of whole wheat and white flours plus wheat germ.
