GREENFIELD VILLAGE "HOBO BREAD"



Greenfield Village

A thoroughly American bread, orriginating during the Great Depression. This bread is baked in tin cans (just like the hoboes did it back in the day). It's moist and delicious and very easy. It's no wonder that it's a hit to all who visit Greenfield Village in Dearborn Michigan.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup raisins
1 cup golden raisins
4 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups boiling water
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place the dark and golden raisins in a medium bowl. Dissolve baking soda in boiling water, and pour over raisins. Let stand overnight without stirring.

  • Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the crown comes out clean. Lay cans on their side to loosen the bread as it cools.

Tips:

  • Use a large Dutch oven or a cast iron skillet with a tight-fitting lid for even cooking and a crispy crust.
  • Make sure the dough is well-kneaded and smooth before shaping it into a loaf. This will help ensure a light and airy texture.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the top of the loaf before baking. This will help the bread rise evenly and prevent it from cracking.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the bread set and prevent it from crumbling.
