Ireland's Brown Bread Baking Finalists | Belfast News

Ireland’s beloved National Brown Bread Baking Competition is back bigger than ever, with three top bakers—Ann Lotus, Bernadette Ennis, and Geraldine Maguire—facing off in a live showdown at the National Ploughing Championships this September. Judges praised the sky-high standards, with loaves baked fresh that morning or even the night before, judged on aeration, crust, texture, and flavor. Rooted in Irish tradition since the 1970s, this iconic event proves brown bread’s enduring national love—and the winner walks away with €5,000 and a premium NEFF oven. The semi-finals kick off September 15th and 16th, with the grand final crowning Ireland’s ultimate brown bread champion on the 18th.
