Ballymaloe brown bread was The Ballymaloe House Hotel's version of Doris Grant's no-[[Kneading bread|knead]] bread, introduced in her book "''Your Daily Bread''".

I've found that with all [[Brown flour|brown]] or [[wholemeal flour]] bread recipes, half a [[vitamin C]] tablet (ascorbic acid) crushed between two tablespoons (about 100 mg) and added to the flour, seems to prevent a heavy, poorly risen loaf. It has an effect on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutathione Glutathione (Wikipedia)] which has an affect on the the elasticity of the dough.

It has a bitter-sweet toffee flavour, almost like a sweet malt bread.

This is my version which has additional rye flour and is adapted to suit a bread making machine.

'''Use menu 08 ''French bake'' (6 hour)''' on [[Panasonic SD-ZB2502 automatic breadmaker]])

==French setting and recipe==
[[User:JuliaBalbilla|JuliaBalbilla]] experimented with this recipe and made a very successful Ballymaloe Brown Bread loaf using the following recipe and ''French Bake'' setting on her Panasonic SD-255.

===Ingredients===
*3.5 teaspoons [[dried active yeast]]
* 1 crushed 250 g [[vitamin C tablet]]
* 425 g [[wholemeal flour]]
* 75 g [[wholegrain]] [[rye flour]]
* 1 teaspoon of [[molasses]]
* 2 teaspoons of [[salt]]
* 400 ml water

===Method===
# Place all of the ingredients in the [[Bread maker|bread maker]] in the above order.
# Panasonic SD-253/4/5 [[Bread maker|bread maker]].
# Set to ''French Bake'' (6 hours)
# Use menu 08 ''French bake'' (6 hour) on [[Panasonic SD-ZB2502 automatic breadmaker]]
# Remove as soon as [[Baked|baked]] and cool on a wire rack.

===Notes===
If you don't have a gluten free bake setting, look for a fairly short [[Kneading bread|knead]] and rest time with a long bake time. I found with other settings, the bread would rise extremely well, but after being [[knocked down]] (by the breadmaker), it never managed to rise again properly. The failures make brilliant breadcrumbs though!
