Weixenkeimbrot (molasses brown bread)

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2½ cup Whole-Wheat Flour
1½ cup Wheat Germ
⅓ cup Brown Sugar
½ teaspoon Salt
1 cup Raisins; Mixed Dark & Light
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1⅞ cup Buttermilk
⅓ cup Molasses

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9 X 5 X 3-inch pan. Combine flour, wheat germ, brown sugar, salt and raisins in a mixing bowl.

Mix well. In a second mixing bowl, mix baking soda, buttermilk and molasses, using a wooden spoon. This misture will start to bubble.

Immediately mix it into the dry ingredients. Spoon the batter into the greased pan.

Bake at once. The bread is done when a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour. Turn out of the pan and cool on a wire rack. Makes 1 loaf.
