Sweet Brown Bread
1/2 cup yellow or white cornmeal
1 1/2 cups white or unbleached flour
1 cup rye flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup molasses
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup broken walnuts, optional
1 cup raisins, optional
Do not preheat the oven for this recipe. Need oven cold.
Grease a Dutch oven size pan or 2 casserole dishes with lids.
Use a large bowl and place the cornmeal, all the flours, sugar,
molasses, baking soda and salt in it.
Pour in the buttermilk and mix until well blended.
If using: add the walnuts and raisins and stir to combine.
Pour the batter into the pan/dishes and place in a COLD oven.
Turn temperature to 350 and bake for about 1 hour.
Use a tester for doneness. If it comes out clean, and dry, it is done.
If anything clings, continue to bake for 5 - 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan/dishes for 10 minutes.
Remove the bread from the pan and place on wire rack to cool.
If using a convection oven, reduce the heat 50 degrees.
