Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h10m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup warm water
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2-2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
1 1/2-2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon caraway seed

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit until frothy ~10 minutes.
  • Add oil, molasses, and whole wheat flour and mix until full incorporated.
  • Slowly add all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and salt. I usually use about 1.75 cups of the AP flour.
  • Add in seeds.
  • Knead in a mixer about 10 minutes, or longer if you're kneading by hand.
  • Place into a greased bowl and let rise until double, about 1.5 hours.
  • Deflate the dough and let rise again until double, about 50 minutes.
  • Deflate dough and flatten with a rolling pin into a long rectangle, about 8 inches wide.
  • Slowly roll the dough into an 8″ wide log, squeezing out all the excess air as you go.
  • Pinch seams together and place seam side down into a 8x4" loaf pan.
  • Let rise about 30 minutes in loaf pan and preheat oven to 350.
  • Bake about 35-40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right molasses. Stuart Anderson's Molasses Bread recipe calls for unsulphured molasses, which has a milder flavor than sulphured molasses. If you can't find unsulphured molasses, you can use sulphured molasses, but be sure to reduce the amount by half.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread rise in a warm place. The bread will rise best in a warm place, such as a sunny windowsill or a turned-off oven.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown. The bread is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Stuart Anderson's Molasses Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. The bread has a moist, tender crumb and a slightly sweet flavor. It is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can also use it to make sandwiches, croutons, or bread pudding. If you are looking for a delicious and versatile bread recipe, Stuart Anderson's Molasses Bread is a great option.
