Whole Wheat Quick Bread: Whole Wheat Food Storage Recipes

Posted by Crystal-Everyday Food Storage on Monday, April 6, 2009 · Comments

Okay, I’m like you…BUSY! And sometimes I don’t realize how late it is and how soon I’ll need bread. Yikes! But what can you do…bread takes a couple hours to make….or does it? Well a normal yeast bread, yes, it does take a couple of hours. But you can make a quick bread with no yeast in about an hour. This quick bread has the texture of banana or zucchini bread but all the wonderful flavor wheat. I got this great recipe from The Essential Mormon Celebrations cookbook by Julie Badger Jensen, she is also the author of the Essential Mormon Cookbook.)

Whole-Wheat Quick Bread

1 egg, beaten (1 T. dry egg powder + 2 T. water)
2 c. buttermilk (1/3 c. dry milk powder + 2 c. water + 2 T. vinegar or lemon juice, let sit for 5 minutes)
3 T. molasses or honey
2 T. butter, melted
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 t. baking powder

In a bowl, combine egg, buttermilk, molasses or honey, and butter. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, slat and baking powder. Stir well; add to first mixture and mix well. Pour into a greased loaf pan. bake at 400 degrees for about 45-40 minutes, until lightly brown. Cool slightly then turn out of the pan onto a wire rack. Slice while warm. Makes 1 loaf.

Oh and by the way our family loved this recipe! My husband thought it was cake :)

I think that if your bread was too salty Julene, it's possible you may have put in 1 tablespoon salt instead of 1 teaspoon? I found that I needed extra flour, kept adding more (almost double what the recipe said) till the mixture wasn't so runny.

I made this tonight for dinner and it turned out really salty. I don't know what I did wrong. It was kind of spongy, like there was too much liquid in the recipe. Maybe I needed more flour? IDK, Help!

Thanks for the recipe. I made in last night and the family loved it. I am wondering if you can make it as muffins with frozen berries added?

Mauri

Crystal which whole wheat flour did you use?? White whole wheat or brown/red whole wheat....does it make a difference?

Julie

LOL! Yes, he did like it. It is very moist and very delicious out of the oven with butter and honey. I think next time I try it I'm going to put in applesauce for the oil. My baby liked it so much that it was hard to take a picture with out her hand in it! :)

ctdaffodil

gaby

Thanks, Crystal

I have the cookbook, but I've never tried this recipe. I will definitely be giving it a try. Yeast breads rarely ever work for me. I think, it might be our altitude.
