I found this recipe to be very bland. The crust was flavorful, but the the bread itself had barely any flavor. It might be good to add some cinammon or other spices.

I made a loaf of this bread and I must say that it is delicious. Whole wheat is a little hard to get used to at first, but I loved this one and will make it again.

This was great! I followed the recipe as written and baked it in a loaf pan (I like being able to cut off slices and pop them in the toaster)! :) It was very easy to make, and the texture is wonderful. So dense but still very moist, and the crust is fantastic. As soon as this had mostly cooled I cut a piece put some Smart Balance on it and a couple slices of extra sharp cheddar and I was a happy camper!

My husband is also from Northern Ireland and your wheaten bread recipe wins his approval and mine! The bread looked so gorgeous when it came out of the oven, it was a shame to cut into it! And to all who have never tried wheaten bread, this recipe gives the authentic taste and texture! Please try it toasted as well to bring out the nutty flavor of the wheat! On my first trip to Belfast to meet the in-laws, I was given the family's recipe for wheaten bread and the bowl that the flour was measured in. I haven't made wheaten bread in some time and thought I'd give your recipe (which is different from mine) a try. It is Wonderful! One tip: whenever I have to cut in butter or margarine into flour, I grate the margarine/butter over the flour. The smaller pieces are easier to cut in and it takes less time.

My family loved this bread! I wish I would have had a better pan to cook it in though. It burned a bit on the bottom.

It's good, but a bit too salty. I would reduce the dose of salt.

I was looking for a quick bread that did not use baking powder, as I did not have any, and used only a little of baking soda, since the taste is so overpowering. This bread was perfect for even making drop biscuits! I subbed milk for buttermilk without any problems.

This was so good, and very "authentic" Irish! I will make this frequently--it's so quick and easy. I did as another reviewer, and mixed it in my Kitchen Aid mixer with the bread hook attachment.

Hearty, but pretty crumbly. Very easy to make, but probably would not make again.

The bread is gone in a very short time, with my family of 5! I used white whole wheat flour and powdered buttermilk. I also substituted butter for margarine. I think that if it were baked on the paper, it might not have burned on the bottom. It was very moist and delicious!

I was excited to try this recipe to go along with the Irish Beef stew. It was very easy to make and the flavor is incredible. If you aren't a breadmaker (like me) but want to try your hand, pick this one!

I had never eaten or tried making bread like this before so I made this exactly as written and boy am I glad that I did. It was wonderful. I did use fat free buttermilk. It is a little sticky when you do the kneeding so I guess that's why you don't do too much of that? Just had to add a little flour to my hands and sprinkle on it when kneeding. Thank you for such a great and healthy recipe. I will make this again.

Unlike my usual M.O. I followed the recipe and it was delightfully easy and yummy. Went great with our corned beef supper. I think it would be fun to experiment with it next time by adding some savory additions or dried fruit, 'though it holds up very well as is. Thanks.

I had some left over buttermilk from a different recipe I wanted to use up and decided to try this recipe. It is fantastic!! I added 1 1/4 cup of raisins as well baked it in a loaf pan rather than a round pan and it turned out excellent!! I have made a few trips to the store specially to by buttermilk now for this recipe...it has not failed me yet!! It is a must try!!

This is a very tasty bread and simple to make. Like one of the other reviewers, I used my Kitchenaid stand up mixer (my Christmas present this year!) and it only took about 10 minutes, plus kneeding time. I rated 4 stars only because it was SO dense, that I can barely finish a whole slice at once. I do like the wheaty flavor and the slight sweetness of the crust. My husband however, who is the real bread lover in the house, only thought it was so so. (He's also a picky eater)

tried this recipe for the first time yesterday and it worked out perfectly! so quick and easy, and got just the bread i was hoping for. only one comment - i needed to add a little more flour than the recipe gave, as the dough was initially a bit on the sticky side, but that might have been my scales. will definitely bake this again!

Very good, moist bread. Its like a giant whole wheat biscuit or whole wheat irish soda bread. I really liked the effect of the buttermilk brushed on the crust before baking and the sugar sprinkles. It makes almost a glaze on it and adds just a touch of sweetness, but not too much. Great bread!
