Wanted Good Homemade Brown Bread

[Ed Carlson]

I am searching for a good homemade Brown Bread recipe, one with the molasses. Yup, that kinda hearty rib stick’n Brown Bread.

If anyone has one I would love the full formula in a form I can manage to muck-up.

I LOVE good homemade molasses brown bread and lost the recipe handed down to me by an old Norwegian Bachelor that made the best I ever had.

Any Bread Guru's out there?

Thanks,

I really like this Swedish Potato Rye bread. The Molasses, orange, and seeds blend together well.
