How To make Boston Brown Bread Crockpot
Ingredients
1
cup
whole wheat flour
1
cup
rye flour
1
cup
yellow cornmeal
2
teaspoon
baking soda
1 1/2
teaspoon
salt
1/2
cup
dark molasses
1 1/2
cup
buttermilk
1
cup
seedless raisins
2
cup
hot water
Directions:
This is great with baked beans and franks. It's dark and dense, and leftovers make wonderful toast.
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat and rye flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the molasses, buttermilk, and raisins. Stir until all the ingredients are combined.
Grease a 2 quart mold, flour it, and fill. The batter should not fill more than 2/3 of the mold. Cover with foil and tie with string. Set the mold on a trivet in the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the hot water into the pot, cover the pot, and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours.
The bread is done when the top is dry and recedes from the edge of the mold. Cool the bread on a rack for 10 minutes, then turn out and serve.
Makes 1 loaf.

Boston Baked Beans with Franks and Brown Bread
Welcome to New England, the home of our world famous Boston baked beans. Many families here still follow a long tradition from the days of the Pilgrims, of enjoying a Saturday evening supper of Boston baked beans, along with franks and steamed brown bread. This is a supper that simply can't be beat, especially if you make the baked beans from scratch. The beans slow cook in molasses all day, and when they're ready, they have a flavor that is unsurpassable. But while Boston baked beans are famous worldwide, you may not have heard of our Boston brown bread. This is a molasses bread that isn't baked in an oven, but rather it's steamed like an old fashioned British pudding. Once you've had this classic New England dish of franks, baked beans and brown bread, you may never be satisfied with those canned baked beans ever again!
These beans were prepared in a cast iron dutch oven, because the first New England beanpots were made from cast iron. The brown bread and franks were prepared in a Lodge Cast Iron Blacklock series 10 inch skillet. The recipes for these dishes can be seen on my Web site, Cast Iron Chaos, at:
A video especially about Boston brown bread will be coming later this week!
