Molasses Brown Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups wheat germ
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins, mixed dark & light
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 7/8 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup molasses

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Grease a 9 X 5 X 3-inch pan.
Combine flour, wheat germ, brown sugar, salt and raisins in a mixing bowl.
Mix well.
In a second mixing bowl, mix baking soda, buttermilk and molasses, using a wooden spoon.
This misture will start to bubble.
Immediately mix it into the dry ingredients.
Spoon the batter into the greased pan.
Bake at once.
The bread is done when a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour.
Turn out of the pan and cool on a wire rack.
