Euronics has been announced as the new sponsor of the National Brown Bread Baking Competition, in association with the National Ploughing Association (NPA) and the Irish Countrywomen’s Association (ICA).

Brown bread is a quintessentially Irish product found in most of the homes around the country. Everyone has their own recipe and their secret ingredient but Euronics wants to know can your favourite bread win the coveted title and can you bake your way to the top spot?
