Easy Molasses Bread

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

butter

or pure vegetable margarine

13 cups whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon salt -- (slightly heaping)

2 packets instant yeast

1 tablespoon molasses -- (slightly heaping)

 

Grease three large bread pans - or the equivalent, including cake pans, if you

wish - generously with butter or margarine. Tip the flour and salt into a large

bowl and add the yeast. Mix gently. Dissolve the molasses in a little tepid

water taken from 6 1/4 cups. Add this to the flour, then mix in the rest of the

water, going carefully at the end in case you don't need quite all of it. The

finished mixture needs to be too wet to leave the sides of the bowl clean; it

should feel 'slippery' but not completely sloppy. Half fill the pans with the

mixture, cover them with plastic wrap or a damp dish towel, and leave to rise.

 

Meanwhile set the oven to 400 degrees F. When the loaves have risen to within

1/2 inch of the tops of the pans, put them in the oven. Bake large loaves for 45

minutes, and small ones for about 35 minutes, or until they are brown and firm

to the touch, and sound hollow when you slip them out of the pans and tap them

on the base with your knuckles. If you wish, you can crisp the base and sides a

bit more by putting the loaves back into the oven for a few minutes after you've

taken them out of the pans. Cool the bread on a wire rack.

NOTES : This bread is made by the quick one-rise method, which does not require

any kneading. I like to add blackstrap molasses, which gives it a slight

sweetness and also makes it more nutritious. Suitable for freezing.
