  1. How to Make Oaten Bread

    Share Share Post
    Get some oaten meal and put in a basin and mix with salt and caraway. Mix with soft water and mix with your clean hands. Put on bread board and form into cake. Leave it for a couple of hours to harden. Put grid iron standing before fire and oatcake in front to bake. In ancient times Boxty Bread was made on Hallow Eve night and on Christmas Eve. Soda bread with the addition of currants, raisins and sugar was made in a big pot oven for Christmas.
