How To Make boston brown bread- simple recipe
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 325^. Generously spray or grease a 1-pound coffee can. Set aside.

Step 2Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir in molasses and milk. If using raisins, dust with flour to coat first, then fold into the batter.

Step 3Fill the coffee can with batter. It should come up about 2/3 of the way. Cover the top with foil and tie securely with a string to make it airtight. -
Step 4Place in a deep baking pan and fill the pan with boiling water, to come 1/2 way up the sides of the can. Place in oven and allow to steam for 2 hours, checking the war level after 1 hour. Add more boiling water if needed. Check by sticking a skewer into the bread; it will come clean when done. Remove string and foil and allow to cool for 1 hour before removing from can.
