Nothing screams autumn/winter season more than a hearty loaf of freshly baked brown bread! I am obsessed with baking but I especially enjoy it during the cold season. It really embodies the Hygge lifestyle. ( basically cosy life ) There’s something so satisfying and warming about baking a loaf of brown bread and eating it fresh out of the oven.
This recipe is quick and easy for those of you who want to keep it simple. This brown bread is wholesome, rich yet light at the same time. All you need is 6 simple ingredients!
Enjoy this bread along side a bowl of homemade soup or even just by itself with some butter and jam. It’s like a hug in a slice!
