Best Yankee Brown Bread Recipes
YANKEE BROWN BREAD
This recipe is from an authentic civil war cookbook. Of course they had to adapt measurements etc. to be more understandable to us. I made this when I was trying to find a simple bread recipe, as I wasn't in the mood for kneading, rising etc. and had limited ingredients on hand. It was easy and turned out great. It is best warm with butter, be forewarned, it is a dense and sweet bread. The original recipe called for 1 C. molasses, which I thought was a bit much (and I love molasses), so I have put it here as 1/2 C. I have not made it that way yet, but you might want to try 1/2 C the first time, and then decide if you want to increase it thereafter. I hope you enjoy making this piece of history, and imagining what a treat this would have been for the exhausted soldiers.
