Boston Brown Bread - made it!

[Guest guest]

Jeanne,

 

I bought some rye flour in Whole Foods today to make

the Boston Brown Bread recipe. I used canola oil for

the shortening, and I halved the recipe. I only had 2

empty cans, and I'm cooking for 1 so 4 loaves was a

little excessive.

 

It really was very easy. The only hard part was

waiting for them to steam. I just tried a small slice

and it's yummy! I'm going to bring one to work

tomorrow and see if my co-workers will try it. They

aren't a very brave lot, so I'm not too hopeful.

 

Can you freeze these? I may have to make only 1/4 of

the recipe in the future!

I am so proud of you!!! I feel like a mamma duck watching her duckling swimming

for the first time! Oh yes, this bread freezes like a dream, and is wonderful

toasted. You absolutely must try the traditional New England way of eating the

Boston Brown bread; with baked beans! Or toasted and slathered with butter. MMMm

I love this bread. Waiting for them to finish steaming is the hardest part. But

then that is the hardest part of any bread baking, waiting till the loaves are

cooked. Once it is cooler you can try your hand at some yeast breads. Oooooooh,

this reminds me, I need to dig out another quick rise bread for you, an oatmeal

and honey loaf with little flecks of orange peel throughout.

 

Think I'll go make some biscuits for the husband person's brekkies. Thank you

for letting me know about the bread! Jeanne in Georgia

I don't have any beans on hand right now but will

definitely buy some the next time I make this. I did

toast a few slices and had them with butter today and

they were excellent.

That sounds really good. I love oatmeal, on its own

or in recipes. Waiting for the bread to steam wasn't

too bad. It was nice not to have to worry about my

lousy oven switching temperatures for no reason. I

like recipes that you can just set up and go, no

stirring or adding things halfway through.

 

I brought one can to work today and I'm happy to say

it was eaten by my co-workers, so no freezing will be

needed Sometimes I can't pay them to eat what I bring

in and other times they fight over stuff. So, this

was a big hit all around.

Thank you for telling me! You put the smile back on my face and purrs back in my

soul! I'll dig out the oatmeal bread recipe asap. I want some too.
