Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     quick, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

Oil or butter for greasing pan
1 2/3 cups buttermilk or plain yogurt, or 1 1/2 cups milk and 2 tablespoons white vinegar (see Step 2)
2 1/2 cups (about 12 ounces) whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup molasses

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8-by-4-inch or 9-by 5-inch loaf pan, preferably nonstick.
  • If using buttermilk or yogurt, ignore this step. Make soured milk: warm milk gently -- 1 minute in the microwave is sufficient, just enough to take the chill off -- and add vinegar. Set aside.
  • Mix together dry ingredients. Stir molasses into buttermilk, yogurt or soured milk. Stir liquid into dry ingredients (just enough to combine) then pour into loaf pan. Bake until firm and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes before removing from pan.

Time 30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
⅞ cup boiling water
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Mix vegetable oil, boiling water, honey, and molasses into the flour mixture, and stir until thoroughly combined. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface, and knead a few times to be sure the dough is completely mixed. Divide the dough into quarters, and roll each quarter into a ball. Press each dough ball into a circle about 1/4-inch thick, and place on prepared baking sheet. If desired, use a kitchen knife to lightly score the breads with 2 criss-cross lines to break the breads apart later.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes. If desired, brush the breads with melted butter after removing from oven.

MOLASSES WHEAT BREAD



Molasses Wheat Bread image

There are many good recipes for healthy whole-wheat breads, but all yeast versions take several hours to make. This quick bread uses baking powder and soda to leaven it instead. It is good for sandwiches, as a snack, or toasted with peanut butter or jam. If you need two loaves, freeze the extra bread for later use.

QUICK WHOLE WHEAT AND MOLASSES BREAD



Quick Whole Wheat and Molasses Bread image

A good savory quick bread, excellent with cheese for a snack or lunch or as an accompaniment to a vegetable stew sort of meal. From Mark Bittman in the New York Times.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

oil or butter, for greasing pan
1 2/3 cups buttermilk
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (about 12 ounces)
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup molasses

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees.F.
  • Grease an 8-by-4-inch or 9-by 5-inch loaf pan, preferably nonstick.
  • Mix together dry ingredients.
  • Stir molasses into buttermilk.
  • Stir liquid into dry ingredients (just enough to combine) then pour into loaf pan.
  • Bake until firm and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Cool on a rack for 15 minutes before removing from pan.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the bread will be. Look for unbleached all-purpose flour, fresh yeast, and pure molasses.
  • Proof the yeast: This is an important step that helps to ensure that the yeast is active and will produce a good rise in the bread. To proof the yeast, dissolve it in warm water with a little sugar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
  • Mix the dough properly: Be sure to mix the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the bread a good structure.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to double in size, which is essential for a light and fluffy loaf of bread.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and a tender crumb.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Molasses wheat bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a good source of fiber and nutrients, and it can be made with a variety of different flours and grains. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, molasses wheat bread is a great recipe to try.
