Categories     Breads

Time 1h20m

Yield 20 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
½ cup dark rye flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup raisins, optional (I used currants for this version)
¾ cup blackstrap molasses
1½ cups milk
1 cup rye sourdough starter

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
  • In a smaller bowl, mix together the molasses, milk, and sourdough starter
  • Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir to mix well.
  • Grease the inside of 4 wide-mouth pint canning jars with butter.
  • Divide the dough among the jars.
  • Cover each jar with aluminum foil.
  • Place jars in a canning basket. Lower basket into a water bath canner with boiling water. The water should be about ⅔ of the way up the jars.
  • Reduce heat and steam bread for 1 - 1½ hours or until done. Check occasionally to make sure the canner doesn't boil dry.
  • Remove from canner. Let cool slightly. Remove bread from the jars. You may need to run a butter knife down the side of the jar to gently dislodge the bread.
  • Cool on a cooling rack.
  • Sliced bread can be steamed to re-heat.
  • Optional Steaming Directions:
  • Use a large pot instead of the water bath steamer. Place something on the bottom of the pot to keep the jars off of the bottom, canning lids or crinkled aluminum foil or a steamer basket would work. Instead of canning jars use 4 clean, 15 oz cans.
  • Optional Baking Directions:
  • Spoon batter into a greased bread loaf pan. Bake at 325 degrees for one hour.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were too many steps and it took me a long time to make the bread.

This bread was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been a bit lighter and fluffier.

I've tried this recipe a few times now and I can't seem to get it right. The bread always turns out too dry.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit! My family loves the slightly sour flavor of the sourdough starter. I like to add a bit of chopped walnuts for extra crunch.
