Linda's molasses bread

2/9/2015

If you love SOFT, full FLAVOR bread then you will love this deliciousness.

Linda’s Molasses Bread

2 3/4 cup boiling water
3 large shredded wheat biscuits (the old fashioned kind)
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon shortening
1/2 cup molasses
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 package yeast
1/2 warm water

6-7 cups AP flour (do not use all at once, start with 5 cups and add more as needed)
1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water whisked in a small bowl for the egg wash.

In a medium size bowl, pour boiling water over the 3 shredded wheat biscuits. Add the salt, shortening, honey and molasses. Set aside to cool.

In a separate bowl, mix the yeast with 1/2 cup warm water and let proof. Add the proofed yeast mixture to the shredded wheat mixture gradually adding enough flour until it forms a soft “spring like” dough. Turn out to a floured counter and knead until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Divide the dough into two loaves, placing dough into two, greased 9 inch loaf pans. Score the bread and brush with a water/egg wash.  Let rest while the oven is preheating

Bake the two loaves in a preheated 400*oven for about 30-40 minutes. If the loaves start to get too dark, cover with foil and keep baking until internal temp is about 205 degrees when an instant read thermometer is placed in the bread.



***Update. Made this again, this time I used egual parts honey, molasses and malt barley. I baked one like the recipe suggests and the second loaf I baked in the preheated cast-iron skillet

    Inspired by the loves of my life. the hunger in my stomach and my SPONTANEOUS nature.
    DELICIOUS home-made food is my passion.
    The smiles on the faces that eat it and the hands that clean up the messes I make.
