Boston Brown Bread recipe help needed
 Login/Join 
Posted
Someplace relatively recently, I saw a recipe for Boston brown bread that would be cooked in coffee tins in the crock pot. I thought this would be agreat idea for my siblings. Now that I have the coffee cans, I can't seem to find the recipe. Was it on here? Does anybody have any help for me?

Thank you ahead of time.

Grandma's "Dark" Bread from the Crockpot Cookbook

Preheat Crock-pot to High 30 minutes

In a 1-cup measuring cup, mix to disolve:
1/4 c very warm water (110 -115 degrees)
1 package dry yeast
1/2 tsp sugar
(Mixture should bubble and foam)

Heat in small saucepan until batter is melted:
1/2 c milk
1 tbsp shortening or butter
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar

Pour into large mixing bowl and add:
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp molasses
1/2 c whole wheat or graham flour
1/2 c water

Stir in dissolved yeast mixture.

2 1/2 to 3 cups all purpose flour

With electric mixer, gradually beat in 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour for about 2 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 to 1 1/2 cups flour until dough comes away from bowl. Pour into well greased coffee tin and cover. Place in preheated crock-pot, cover and bake at high 2 to 3 hours. Makes one round delicious loaf.

Linda, their is a fantastic boston brown bread in Crockpot Cookery by Mabel Hoffman. I can personally vouch for this recipe as been delicious! I will see if I can find the book (but I may have given it away), and see if I have the recipe. If not, that is the book that it is in, so maybe you have it, or could get it from the library?


Blessings,

Lori

you could prob use any recipe that calls for the bread to be steamed.

That doesn't ring a bell on this website.

My crock instructions used to have a recipe... the instructions are long gone... I think... unless I kept a book or something...

Or you can google a recipe, I'm sure.
