Ingredients

1 pint buttermilk or VERY sour milk

1 cup flour

2 cups graham flour or whole wheat pastry flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1/2 cup dark molasses

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking soda

Optional raisins or walnuts

Directions

Mix all ingredients and pour into greased and lightly floured large loaf pan.

Batter will be very thick

Bake about 45 minutes.

***This is a very dense bread so care must be taken to ensure that it is done all the way through without overbaking.

If desired, raisins or chopped walnuts may be added.

Wow. Would modern whole wheat flour be ok? There have been times (sleet storms, hurricanes,) when baking bread on a hearth would have been a handy thing to know how to do! Thanks!

Sounds delicious! Thank you for converting it and sharing. One problem with the posted version... at what temp should it bake for 45min so as "to ensure that it is done all the way through without overbaking" ??? THANKS!
