Wheaten Bread
Wheaten bread is the name people of Northern Ireland use for brown soda bread. This bread is made without yeast and consists of whole wheat flour, plain flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda, butter, sugar, buttermilk and some oatmeal for sprinkling on the bread.
It can be spread with butter and jam when removed from the oven, but wheat bread is also a good accompaniment to soups, cold cuts or smoked salmon. The bread is believed to date back to 1840, when bicarbonate of soda was first introduced to the country.
