Brown Bread With Smoked Salmon Recipes

SMOKED SALMON TOASTS

Steps:

• Slice 1 loaf seven-grain bread 1/4 inch thick; cut each slice into thirds. Toast the bread on a grill pan over high heat, then transfer to a cutting board, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Top each piece with a slice of tomato, then spread with honey mustard. Top with smoked salmon and more mustard; sprinkle with pepper and fresh dill.

IRISH BROWN BREAD WITH SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Whisk together flours, oats, wheat germ, baking soda, salt, and caraway seeds in a large bowl. Blend in 3/4 stick cold butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and stir until dough is evenly moistened. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, dusting with flour to prevent sticking, 1 minute (dough should remain soft and slightly sticky). Shape dough into a ball.
• Pat out dough on a lightly floured baking sheet into a 7-inch round. Dust dough with flour and spread lightly over round with your fingertips. Cut a 4- to 5-inch X (1/2inch deep) in top of dough.
• Bake in middle of oven until bread sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a rack 2 hours before slicing.
• Make canapés with bread, softened butter, salmon, chives, and pepper to taste.

BROWN BREAD WITH SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the milk and lemon juice to create sour milk. Mix the flours, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the middle and stir in the sour milk vigorously to make a thickish dough. Turn dough out onto a floured board and form into a round cake about 2 inches high and 7 inches in diameter.
• Warm an 8-inch cast iron skillet or cake pan in the oven for 3 minutes. Take it out, grease and flour it, and place the round dough "cake" in the pan. Using a wet paring knife, make a cross cut on the top of the dough. Cover the pan and bake in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and wrap bread in a clean tea towel to cool, 5 to 6 hours. Serve with smoked salmon and cream cheese.

SMOKED SALMON ON IRISH SODA BREAD WITH CHIVE BUTTER

Steps:

• Slice the soda bread into thin slices, about 1/4-inch, and cut each slice into a rough 2-inch square until you have 16 pieces. Wrap the remaining bread in plastic wrap and store in a cool dry place. Mix the butter and chives together and spread a small amount onto each square. Top with a small fold of salmon and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the oatmeal into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Pour into a bowl and add the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, raisins and caraway seeds. Stir well to combine. Pour the buttermilk in and stir quickly until well combined. Shape the dough into a round about 6 inches in diameter and put onto a baking sheet. Place into the top half of the oven and bake 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly brown on top. When tapped, the bread will give off a firm, hollow sound. Remove from the oven and let cool.
