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.

MY GRAMMA'S GRAHAM BREAD

This recipe is from my dear gramma and written in her own handwriting. She's been gone since I was in high-school and so it's near and dear to my heart. The original recipe states "no eggs or lard". Lard you say???? Is that something that you buy in the store.?? ETA...since some aren't able to find graham flour too readily. There is a recipe on Zaar for a sub...Recipe #377353.
