Time 4h45m

Yield Makes 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 7

Unsalted butter, room temperature, for pans
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
3/4 cup hard dry cider (such as Angry Orchard Stone Dry)
3 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast (21 grams)
2 1/4 cups coarse wholemeal flour (such as Odlums or King Arthur)
4 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Butter two 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pans. Dust with all-purpose flour, tapping out excess.
  • In a small saucepan, combine molasses, 1 cup water, and cider. Heat over medium, just until mixture reaches warm room temperature. Sprinkle yeast over top and let stand until yeast is bubbly, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine flours and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat to combine. Add the yeast mixture and beat on medium until well combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Cover with plastic and place in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Divide dough between prepared pans. Drape with plastic wrap and let stand until doubled in size, about 1 hour more. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees with a baking sheet on lower rack.
  • Transfer loaves to oven, being careful not to deflate. Bake 30 minutes. Remove bread from pans and place on preheated baking sheet. Continue baking until hollow-sounding when tapped on bottom and an instant-read thermometer reads 190 to 200 degrees, about 30 minutes more. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Loaves will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

I'm not a big fan of treacle, but I really enjoyed this bread. The flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bread didn't turn out as good as I hoped. It was a bit dry and bland.
