As I was cleaning out a pile of books from the bathroom reading corner, I
came across
an old beauty book which featured a healthy bread recipe called "superbread"
in the section of special foods for your health which advised eating 1 or 2
slices of nutritious bread.
I vaguely remembered that someone requested a whole wheat quick bread
sometimes in the past.
So here it is. I have not tried it myself. However, if anyone does so, let
me how it came out!
SUPERBREAD( whole wheat quickbread )
Sift together into a large bowl:
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. baking powder
pinch cinnamon
Add:
1/2 cup molasses or raw honey
1/4 cup polyunsaturated oil
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or cashews
1 Tbs grated orange rind
Stir eveything together until combined. Pour into a loaf pan and let sit on
the counter 20 minutes. Bake 375 for 45 minutes to an hour until tested done.
My Note: I have quite a few quickbreads recipes which advising sitting 20
minutes before baking. This proecess helps with the texture. If you use
fresh and double acting baking powder, your quickbreads will still rise well
when baked.
