Fill your home with the glorious smell of my Colonial-Style Brown Bread baking! I recently read that Colonial, one of the most reknowned bread names in the South, has been bought by Sara Lee. I’ve always loved the simplicity and wholesomeness of Colonial’s loaves and my family have been loyal Colonial purchasers for generations!
So, as a tribute to that great southern brand, I’m sharing my version of their whole wheat bread, just in case you need to recreate it at home! Colonial’s bread is a little sweet I guess, but it also has some sour notes from the buttermilk.
I’ve also used a combination of whole wheat and all-purpose flour to lighten the wheaty flavour from the bread. And no yeast, so no need to leave it to rise! Enjoy fresh from the oven!
To make Colonial-Style Brown Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease two loaf tins.
Sift the flours, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
Add the buttermilk and mix until well combined.
Divide the batter between the greased loaf tins.
Bake for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
Serve the loaves warm and store any leftovers in the refrigerator covered in serran wrap.
Enjoy some freshly baked Colonial-Style Brown Bread slathered in butter, toasted or made into your favorite sandwich. What do you think of my simple bread recipe? I’d love to hear how you find it!
Mmm...good
