Weixenkeimbrot (Molasses Brown Bread)

Servings: 4
Ingredients:

2 1/2 c  Whole-Wheat Flour
1 1/2 c  Wheat Germ
1/3 c  Brown Sugar
1/2 t  Salt
1 c  Raisins; Mixed Dark and Light
2 t  Baking Soda
1 7/8 c  Buttermilk
1/3 c  Molasses

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.

Makes 1 loaf.
