Ingredients

• 2 cups Graham flour
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 cup Molasses
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 packet Dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, dissolve the yeast in half a cup of warm water. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix together the remaining one cup of warm water, molasses, melted butter, and honey until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Pour the yeast mixture and the molasses mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.

Step 6

Stir the mixture with a sturdy spoon or spatula until a dough forms.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 8

Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 9

Punch down the dough to remove excess air, then shape it into a loaf.

Step 10

Place the shaped dough into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan, cover it once more, and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.

Step 11

Once the dough has risen again, place the loaf pan in the preheated oven, and bake for 35-40 minutes until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 12

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
