“Serve this tasty healthy bread with Irish Dubliner Cheese. This bread is delicious with Kerry Gold butter and Irish smoked salmon also or for a sweet treat is delicious with homemade fruit jams made from the community garden. You can make the bread with oats only and omit the flour and increase oat content.”
