Advertizing:

This moist, dense, yeast-free bread uses graham flour, a whole wheat grind that includes the bran for flavor and health. Here, it combines with all-purpose flour, molasses and buttermilk to steam over boiling water on the stove.

INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):

PREPARATION:

  • Use a canning kettle, and invert the wire rack. Fill with water to just below the wire rack. Bring to a boil on top of the stove.
  • In a large bowl, mix together molasses, oil, milk, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Stir in white and graham flour. Divide batter into two 1 pound coffee cans. Place a double thickness of aluminum foil over top, and secure with rubber bands.
  • Keep water at a slow boil, and steam for one hour.
