SWEET MOLASSES BROWN BREAD
Delicious
hot sliced and served with fresh butter, or used as a sandwich bread the next
day, this sweet molasses brown bread made with whole wheat, molasses and honey
is one of our family favorites!
Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 and 3/4 cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 1.5 to 2 cups Bread Flour
- 2 tablespoons Butter room temperature
- 1 cup Warm Water
- 1 tablespoon Active Dry Yeast
- 1 tablespoon Natural Baking Cocoa
Instructions
First, place
the hot water, yeast and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer.
Then, let
rise for 10 minutes (the mixture is bubbling).
Add the
whole wheat flour, egg, butter, molasses and honey and put the mixer on low
heat using the dough hook.
Add 1 cup of
bread flour, cocoa and salt and continue mixing on low.
Gradually
add the remaining half cup to a cup of bread flour. The dough should come off
the sides of the mixing bowl.
Continue
kneading on low heat for about 10 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic.
Turn the
dough over and roll into a ball. Let rise in a warm, covered place for 60 to 90
minutes until it doubles in size.
Shape into 6
rolls on a cookie sheet or into 16 rolls in a 9x13 pan and rise again until
doubled (45-60 minutes).
Bake at 350
for 27-30 minutes for breads or about 20 minutes for buns.
Happy Cooking Time.
