GRANDMA'S BROWN BREAD (GRAHAM BREAD)



Grandma's Brown Bread (Graham Bread) image

A very old-fashioned basic quick bread using graham (or whole wheat) flour. My Grandma made it at all holidays... hence the name. She was born in the mid 1880's and probably learned the recipe from her own mother. I had to write it down by standing at her elbow as she made it! Since there is no shortening in this recipe... I recommend whole milk... but skim also works. Make sure to use baking soda... NOT baking powder. Bread is moist, dense, and flavorful.

GREAT GRANDMA NORTHRUP'S BROWN BREAD OR GRAHAM GEMS



Great Grandma Northrup's Brown Bread or Graham Gems image

from my great grandmother on my mother's side. I have tried this and found it very good. You can substitute whole wheat flour for the graham flour if you can't find it. The texture will be a little different but it should still be good.

GRAHAM CRACKER BROWN BREAD



Graham Cracker Brown Bread image

A delicious way to use up leftover graham cracker crumbs. I like cooking this bread in a round loaf pan or coffee can similar to old-fashioned brown bread, but it can also be cooked in a small loaf pan (8x4-inch). This is a dense, not too-sweet bread that is great served with hot dogs and beans. Recipe adapted from Cooking Light (March 2003).

GRANDMA G'S FINNISH RYE/GRAHAM BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)



Grandma G's Finnish Rye/Graham Bread (bread machine) image

This was my grandma's bread recipe. There were no amounts, only a list of ingredients. With much testing, I have come up with the recipe that tastes as close as I can get to her bread.

Provided by Randi Lerch

Categories     Other Breads

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 c lukewarm water
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp honey or white sugar
5 Tbsp rye flour
4 Tbsp graham flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp active dry yeast
2 Tbsp instant mashed potato flakes
3 Tbsp quaker old fashioned oats (not instant)
bread flour

Steps:

  • 1. Add the wet ingredients to your bread machine (water, oil, honey). Next add the salt, potato flakes and oats.
  • 2. Into a measuring cup, put the rye flour and graham flour. Add enough regular bread flour to make 3 1/2 cups. Pour this into the bread machine on top of the wet ingredients.
  • 3. Make a "well" in the flour mixture and add the yeast. Use the "whole wheat" cycle on your machine, 2 pound loaf, dark crust. Turn the machine on and you will have a delicious loaf in a little over 3 hours. NOTE: WATCH THE CONSISTENCY of the mixture as it mixes. If it seems too dry, add one tablespoon of water at a time until the dough forms a "ball" around the paddle. If it is too wet, add one tablespoon of flour at a time.

GRAHAM BREAD (LITTLE HOUSE)



Graham Bread (Little House) image

Graham bread (named after Sylvester Graham) is bread made with both white and brown wheat. It requires minimal kneading, but it's also slow to rise. Instead of sugar, this bread uses molasses to feed the yeast. This recipe came from "The Little House Cookbook" by Barbara M Walker, and was served at the church's New England Supper in "Little Town in the Prairie."

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 5h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 small compressed yeast cakes
4 cups stone ground whole wheat flour
2 cups unbleached white flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon dripping

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, crumble yeast into 1/4 cup bloodwarm water. Let soak for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile in a large bowl, combine flours and salt, and make a wide, deep well in the center.
  • To the yeast add molasses and 2 cups of bloodwarm water and stir. Piour this liquid into the well and stir around and around at the center. Gradually the batter will thicken into a stiff dough.
  • When all the flour is mixed in, dust the dough mass with an extra handful of flour so it no longer sticks to the bowl. Cover with a dish towel and set to rise at room temperature (68 degrees F) for about 2 hours, until doubled in bulk.
  • With a floured fist, punch the dough down and turn it onto a floured board. Knead a few times, then pull into a rope and cut in half with a knife. Flatten each half into a rectangle and roll up like a jelly roll.
  • Grease loaf pans with drippings. Turn loaves to grease them as you put them into pans. Cover, and set to rise for another 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the loaves about 40 minutes, then remove bread from pans. Return loaves to the oven rack to bake 10 minutes more. Cool well. Slicing will be easiest next day.
