1/2 c sugar
1 Tbsp salt

Steps:

Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

GRANDMA'S BROWN BREAD



Grandma's Brown Bread image

My grandma always made this quick bread when she made a pot of baked beans. It is also good with cream cheese and other meats and cheeses. It is baked rather than steamed. You can bake it in a loaf pan. Grandma just always used the tin cans. The round slices are kind of nice. This is an old family recipe. She said her...

GRANDMA'S BROWN BREAD (GRAHAM BREAD)



Grandma's Brown Bread (Graham Bread) image

A very old-fashioned basic quick bread using graham (or whole wheat) flour. My Grandma made it at all holidays... hence the name. She was born in the mid 1880's and probably learned the recipe from her own mother. I had to write it down by standing at her elbow as she made it! Since there is no shortening in this recipe... I recommend whole milk... but skim also works. Make sure to use baking soda... NOT baking powder. Bread is moist, dense, and flavorful.

This recipe is from my dear gramma and written in her own handwriting. She's been gone since I was in high-school and so it's near and dear to my heart. The original recipe states "no eggs or lard". Lard you say???? Is that something that you buy in the store.?? ETA...since some aren't able to find graham flour too readily. There is a recipe on Zaar for a sub...Recipe #377353.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, making the bread tough.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. A smaller pan will make the bread too thick and dense.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 60-70 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help the bread to hold its shape and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Brown Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up ripe bananas. With its simple ingredients and classic flavor, this bread is sure to become a favorite in your home.
