ICA news: Brown bread competition gets a lift from national bakers

Hundreds have entered the national brow- bread baking competition run by Aldi and the ICA. 

In total, 388 bakers from every county entered breads “of a seriously high quality” and they’re all hoping to be named the country’s best brown-bread baker at the Ploughing Championships in Co Laois.

Twenty seven individual county winners have qualified for the regional final in An Grianán in Termonfeckin on August 13, where the top two from each province will be selected to go to the Ploughing, for the semi-finals and final in the Aldi marquee.
