Yield Yield: 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
1 1/4 cups (400ml) water
1 teaspoon molasses
3 1/2 cups (500g) whole-wheat flour
2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Grease an 8in x 2 1/2in (20cm x 10cm x 6cm) loaf pan and warm it in a preheated oven 250¿F/120¿C, for 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the yeast into 2/3 cup (150ml) of the water in a bowl. Leave for 5 minutes; stir to dissolve. Add the molasses. Leave for 10 minutes, until frothy. Add the remaining water and stir.
  • Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the dissolved yeast. Stir in the flour to form a thick batter.
  • Use your hands to mix the batter gently in the bowl for 1 minute, until it begins to leave the sides of the bowl clean and forms a soft, sticky dough.
  • Place the dough in the prepared pan and cover with a dish towel. Proof until the dough is 1/2in (1 cm) above the top of the pan, about 25-30 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven at 425¿F/220¿C for 30 minutes, then lower the oven to 400¿F/200¿C and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Turn the loaf out of the pan and onto a baking sheet. Return the bread, bottom side up, to the oven. Bake for a further 10 minutes, until golden and hollow sounding when tapped underneath. Let cool on a wire rack.
  • Proofing: 25-30 minutes. Oven temperature: 425¿F/220¿C. Baking: 55 minutes Yeast alternative: 1oz (30g) cake yeast

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of molasses, but I'm so glad I did! The molasses flavor is very subtle and it really complements the other ingredients. This bread is delicious!

This brown bread was an absolute hit! It had the perfect texture - crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The molasses added a lovely sweetness, and the buttermilk gave it a tangy flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
