MOLASSES WHOLE WHEAT BREAD
My favorite "healthy" bread! The recipe below, which makes one 8- by 4-inch loaf, is adapted from King Arthur Flour.

Steps:
- Stir the water and yeast together in a large mixing bowl. Then stir in the vegetable oil, molasses, flour, dry milk, and salt. Stir just until the dough cleans the sides of the bowl. Cover with cling film, and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Spray your hands and a non-porous work surface with non-stick vegetable spray. Scrape the shaggy dough onto the work surface, and knead it (do not add additional flour!) until smooth -- 6-8 minutes. Form the dough into a ball.
- Quickly wash, dry, and grease the mixing bowl. Add the dough to the bowl, and then flip the dough to grease its underside. Cover the bowl with cling film and place it in a warm location until the dough doubles in volume -- about 90 minutes.
- Deflate the dough, and then transfer it to the (not-greased) work surface. Pat out and form the dough into a loaf. Put the loaf in the greased bread pan, cover loosely with cling film, and let rise until a crown forms 1 inch above the rim of the pan -- 30-45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake on the middle rack in the preheated oven until until the crust browns and the center of the bread registers at least 190°F when tested with a digital thermometer -- 35-45 minutes. To avoid a too-dark crust, cover loosely with aluminum foil during final 10 minutes of baking. Cool to room temperature before slicing. As if you can wait that long.
WHOLE WHEAT MOLASSES FLAT BREAD
This is a quick bread that mixes up fast and bakes in 15 minutes. It goes great topped with honey or jams. We like making this especially at Eastertime.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet. Whisk the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
- 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.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Molasses: Use unsulphured molasses for a richer flavor and a slightly darker color.
- Activate the Yeast Properly: Ensure the water temperature is between 105°F (40°C) and 115°F (45°C) to activate the yeast effectively.
- Knead the Dough Thoroughly: Kneading helps develop gluten and creates a smooth, elastic dough, resulting in a better texture.
- Let the Dough Rise in a Warm Place: Find a cozy spot in your kitchen, like near the oven or on top of the refrigerator, to help the dough rise faster.
- Don't Over-Proof the Dough: Keep an eye on the dough; it should double in size but not collapse.
- Shape the Dough Properly: Gently stretch and shape the dough without overworking it to maintain its airy texture.
- Preheat the Pan or Griddle: Ensure your cooking surface is hot enough before adding the flatbreads to achieve a crispy exterior.
- Cook the Flatbreads Thoroughly: Flip the flatbreads halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and doneness.
- Enjoy Fresh: Whole wheat molasses flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan, while they're still warm and soft.
