Introduction

It’s an interesting quick bread since there’s both whole wheat flour and cornmeal in there, making it all deep and earthy tasting. Your wet ingredients are just buttermilk and molasses. Lots of thick, gooey molasses. There’s no other sugar in it so it turns out somewhere in between savoury and sweet. It’s not going to taste how you expect so wrap your head around that fact now.

Ingredients

    •1 2/3 cups buttermilk or plain yogurt
    •2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
    •1/2 cup cornmeal
    •1 teaspoon salt
    •1 teaspoon baking soda
    •1/2 cup molasses

Directions

1.Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour an 8×4 or 9×5-inch loaf pan. Non-stick baking spray works well too.
2.In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, salt and baking soda.
3.In a small bowl whisk together buttermilk or yogurt and molasses.
4.Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold to combine. The batter will be slightly thick, but not dry. Spoon batter into prepared pan and place in the oven. Bake loaf for 45 minutes to an hour. Depending on how evenly your oven bakes, you might want to rotate the loaf in the middle of baking. Be careful though. Don’t manhandle it too hard or it might deflate.
5.When a skewer inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, remove the loaf from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes in the loaf pan. Run a butter knife along the sides of the pan and carefully invert onto a wire rack.
6.Loaf will keep, well wrapped at room temperature for up to 4 days.
7.Serve with cream cheese or salted butter

    Incredible!
    This was very good. A dense bread and very wheaty. 1 Slice was very satisfying. I made mine with non-fat yogurt. I AM going to make this again but increase the yogurt to 2 cups. The loaf did not rise very much because it was really hard to work the flour in. - 4/14/13
