Bread maker “brown bread”

brown bread

The boyfriendly household got a new appliance - a bread maker! I’m getting old and getting fussy about my food (especially bread). I grew up eating brown bread - a recipe passed down from my New Brunswick relatives. I’m not even sure the New Brunswick side of my family even makes any other type of bread! Then again, why would they? This bread is awesome.

I probably like it because of the molasses. I love molasses - maybe even more than I love parsnips.  Don’t make me choose between the two.  I can’t.

This bread may not prove to be a boyfriendly recipe since the resident boy isn’t too fond of molasses. He prefers salty yeast paste (Vegemite). Yuck.

The first loaf turned out great - next time I’ll set the crust to “light” rather than “medium”.
