Island Cottage Brown Bread (6 loaves x 1 lb tins)

This bread is cooked every day for the restaurant. It freezes very well. You can also make a type of crisp bread ideal for cheese by slicing it very thinly and baking it in a low oven for about an hour. Ideal for taking on a boat trip. Crisp it as much or as little as you want. We have it toasted on one side for breakfast. Toasting on both sides makes it too hard.
