Steps:
- Mix all ingredients until well blended. Put in greased 9-inch round pan.
- Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes. Cut in wedges, butter generously and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the bread will be. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Measure your ingredients accurately. Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. Use a kitchen scale to measure dry ingredients and a measuring cup for liquid ingredients.
- Follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or ingredients. If you're new to baking, it's helpful to read the recipe through several times before you start baking.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together and is smooth.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place. The dough needs time to rise in order to develop its flavor and texture. Place the dough in a warm place, such as a turned-off oven, for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Bake the bread at the correct temperature. The temperature of the oven is critical for baking bread. Make sure the oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you put the bread in.
- Don't overbake the bread. Overbaking can make the bread dry and crumbly. Bake the bread for the amount of time specified in the recipe, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Molasses bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect molasses bread every time.
