Yield: 4 servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2½ cup | Whole-wheat flour |
| 1½ cup | Wheat germ |
| ⅓ cup | Brown sugar |
| ½ teaspoon | Salt |
| 1 cup | Raisins; mixed dark & light |
| 2 teaspoons | Baking soda |
| 1⅞ cup | Buttermilk |
| ⅓ cup | Molasses |
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. 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 misture 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.
