Recipe Notes
Write list…
• Be careful not to over-mix the batter. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients just until they’re combined. Too much mixing and the bread will
come out tough or dry. The key to keeping a quick bread moist is NOT over-mixing.
• For a less-dense bread, change the ratio of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour. For instance, use 2 cups of all-purpose flour and just ½ cup of
whole wheat.
• Omit the raisins altogether, or use dried cranberries, chopped dates or currants instead.
• Add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans for a bit of crunch.
• Grease the loaf pan really well or spray with a
non-stick baking spray
so that the bread pops right out.
• The buttermilk is an important ingredient in this recipe. The lactic acid in the buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to form tiny bubbles of carbon
dioxide, which helps the bread rise. Don’t substitute with a different milk.
• How to Steam Boston Brown Bread: If you miss the traditional texture of steamed brown bread in a can, you can steam a loaf of Boston Brown Bread with
these instructions
