A hearty and flavorful bread recipe that combines the richness of molasses with the wholesome texture of whole wheat flour.
Combine the molasses and hot water in a mixing bowl.
Using hot water helps dissolve the molasses evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients ensures there are no lumps.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.
Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
Greasing the pan ensures the bread doesn't stick.
Bake in a preheated oven at 275°F for 1 hour, then reduce the temperature to 250°F and bake for another hour.
Place a foil sheet under the pan to prevent overbrowning.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling the bread allows it to set and makes slicing easier.
