THE BOSTON BROWN BREAD RECIPE THAT MAKES YOU GO BACK IN TIME

 

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups wheat flour
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water, boiling
• butter, garnish

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350o F. Spray 4-5 (15 oz. ) cans with nonstick spray. Spray cans with nonstick spray. You can also use a 9×5-inch greased loaf pan.
Put raisins in a bowl. Add boiling water to top it. Allow raisins to sit for 10 minutes or until they puff up.
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat in egg.
Mix buttermilk and baking soda in a separate bowl. Then add molasses.
Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until well combined. Add in the plumped raisins.
Put the batter in greased cans and fill them to half full. To remove air bubbles, tap cans on the counter.
To prevent the bread from rising too high, place cans on a baking tray.
Bake for 50 minutes on a baking sheet.
Take off the top baking sheet. Continue cooking for 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Take the cans out of the oven and use a knife or a sharp knife to trim them. Let the loaf cool on a wire rack while you take it out of the cans.
Enjoy with butter or cream cheese.
