Preparation:
Preheat oven to 325F. Grease a 9 X 5 X 3-inch pan.
Combine flour, wheat germ, brown sugar, salt and raisins in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
In a second mixing bowl, mix baking soda, buttermilk and molasses, using a wooden spoon. This mixture will start to bubble. Immediately mix it into the dry ingredients.
Spoon the batter into the greased pan. Bake at once. The bread is done when a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour. Turn out of the pan and cool on a wire rack.
Makes 1 loaf. |
