3742.0. "boston brown bread" by WMOIS::HERTEL_K () Mon Feb 08 1993 08:26

Does anyone have a recipe for Boston Brown Bread?  I think that is what it
is called.  This is the type that is a dark brown and comes in a can.  We 
used to eat it with baked beans and franks.  I have found recipes for Irish
brown bread, but I don't think this is the same thing.

I have a bread machine (love it) so a recipe for that would be best, but I'll
take anything!

    Here's a recipe from an old cook book of my mom's (doesn't say how long
    to cook)
    
    1 1/2 cups white flour
    2 1/2 tsps soda
    1 1/2 tsps salt
      1/4 cup sugar
        2 cups whole wheat flour
      1/3 cup shortening
        1 cup raisins
        1 egg
        2 cups sour milk
      3/4 cup molasses
    
    Sift white flour, soda, salt and sugar, add whole wheat flour, cut in
    shortening, add raisins and mix well; add egg, well beaten, milk and
    molasses to dry ingredients.  mix only till flour is dampened.  Bake in
    350 oven.  Makes two loaves.

    My recipe is similar to .1 however I steam the bread, in greased cans,
    for 3-4 hours!

    Place prepared batter in greased cans.  Cover with waxed paper that you
    have buttered and pleated (the pleat allows for expansion).  Tie on the
    waxed paper with string to secure.  Place in a large pot and pour in
    boiling water to just over 2/3 of can.  (Place a few coins in the
    bottom of the pot - they will dance while the water boils - when they
    stop dancing top up the water ASAP!)  Cover pot with tight fitting lid
    and let water just boil topping up as needed.  When topping up the
    water using boiling water - it keeps the breads cooking evenly.

    Cooked this way your bread will be incredibly moist and rich.

    I believe all steamed breads can be made in the micro-wave.  I think
    I've seen some recipes in those micro-wave cooks books.  User glass or
    heavy plastic "cans".
    
    Should be a snap
