Ma's Classic Brown Bread
Now, let me ask you. Who doesn't enjoy a fresh, delicious, fluffy and wholesome slice of brown bread from time to time? I mean, yeah, white bread is good and all, whole wheat... not too bad either. But listen, this isn't your typical brown bread recipe you Google a day or two before Mom and Dad are expected to show up for a baked beans lunch and you look to impress them with a nice side of BB, no. This recipe is a special one to me and I asked for it because I couldn't go any longer without knowing how to make this exact brown bread. My good friend's mother shared this recipe with me after plenty of nagging, and her father passed it down to her. Her father worked for the Canadian Navy as the lead cook on the ship, or what he liked to be called the "nautical chef of the sea." The reason it is a unique recipe is because it's quick and the taste is next to none. Firstly, the brown bread only takes a couple hours to bake, where typically it can be a day or two ordeal while we anxiously wait as drool runs down the corner of our mouth. Second, the taste is amazing. I wouldn't lie about that. Back in the day as the crew of seaman worked hand over fist hard all day and faced the everyday struggles out at sea, they worked up quite a hunger and disappointment at lunchtime was no option. So listen, although you won't be enjoying this meal at sea after a hard day's work, it still won't disappoint and the last thing you will do is disappoint your Mom and Dad when they arrive for baked beans and brown bread. Try it and enjoy!
