This is an old-fashioned molasses bread recipe with New England flavor! I mix the dough in the bread machine and then bake it in the regular oven using my favorite pan.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 1 ⅝ cups water

  • 4 cups bread flour

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 tablespoons dry milk powder

  • ⅓ cup molasses

  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast

  • 2 teaspoons salt

Directions

  1. Place ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select Dough or White Bread setting, and then Start.

  2. If the dough does not form a ball on the paddle, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until the ball forms. Allow machine to complete selected cycle.

  3. To bake conventionally, grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Remove dough from the bread machine pan after the Dough cycle has been completed. Shape into a loaf, and place in the prepared pan. Let rise until doubled.

  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  5. Bake in preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Carefully tip loaf out of pan onto a work surface and gently tap bottom of loaf. If it sounds hollow, bread is done.
