Time 3h20m

Yield 1 medium loaf, about 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup rye flour
1/2 cup stone-ground cornmeal
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup white bread flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup dark molasses
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the rye flour, cornmeal, whole wheat flour, white bread flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the molasses, buttermilk, and egg.
  • Pour the molasses mixture into the flour mixture and mix until a thick batter is just formed. Transfer the batter to the prepared coffee can. Cover tightly with the foil, buttered-side down.
  • Place the coffee can in a pot that is twice the height of the can. Pour enough hot water in the pot to reach halfway up the sides of the can. Bring the water to a boil on top of the stove, before transferring to the oven. Bake the bread, in the water bath, until spongy and a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, about 3 hours.
  • Remove can from the water bath and set aside to cool completely. Remove the loaf from the can. Slice into rounds and serve.
