I did leave out the caraway seeds because I personally am not a fan, and I thought more kiddos would like it minus the caraway. It also called for orange zest. I didn't have any. I did add lime zest. Also, to be honest, I ran out of molasses and filled the rest of the cup with honey. I had a little over 1/2 molasses, the rest honey. Here is what I did.
I thought it was fine in the sandwich, but Brandon said it was too sweet. I think that is was fine for a quickbread, but I never actually ate a piece plain. Unfortunately it was Thanksgiving right after I made this and we had too much other bread that I never ate anymore before it molded. :( Picture is of the sandwich. It looked lots better than just the loaf of bread.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (7 1/2 oz.) rye flour (I ground mine fresh)
- 1 cup (4.5 oz.) unbleached bread flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups (14 oz.) buttermilk
- 1/4 cup (3 oz.) molasses
- 1 egg
- zest of 1 lime
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9 X 5 inch loaf pan.
- Whisk together flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, molasses, egg and lime zest.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir quickly and lightly until the batter is evenly moistened. Stir in butter.
- Pour into prepared pan. Bake 55 minutes to 1 hour -until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and place on a rack to cool for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, run a butter knife around the edges of the pan to make sure the bread isn't sticking, turn it out of the pan and finish cooling on the rack.
