Victoria's Boston Brown Bread

Victoria's Boston Brown Bread

It’s so easy to make your own Boston Brown Bread that you can forget about buying those canned ones on the grocery store shelves.  I used golden raisins for this recipe, but you can use any kind of raisins or dried fruit that you like best. 

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Golden Raisins

1 Cup Boiling Water

1 Cup Unbleached Flour

1 Cup Wheat Flour

1 Cup Cornmeal

1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Soda

1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt

1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

2 Cups Buttermilk

1 Cup Molasses

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place raisins in a small-size bowl and cover with boiling water.  Let sit for 20 minutes.  In a large-size bowl combine the flours, baking soda, kosher salt and brown sugar.  Mix well.  Drain raisins. In a medium-size bowl combine buttermilk and molasses.  Stir in raisins.  Add molasses mixture to flour mixture. Stir just until combined.  Pour into a parchment paper lined loaf pan.  Place into oven for 1 hour.  Remove from oven and let cool completely.  Remove from loaf pan and transfer to serving platter.  Makes 1 loaf

Note: You can also make this Boston Brown Bread into muffins.
