Brown Soda Bread


Guess what I made recently?  Brown Soda Bread from a recipe in the book Stir by Jessica Fechtor. It was a hit.  Moist and flavorful.  Perfect with coffee and dangerous to have around with only 2 people in the house.

This Brown Soda Bread recipe challenged me because this was one of the few times I managed to use our digital kitchen scale.  Thanks to my husband's assistance - it was measured properly.  This came out well and I will most certainly be making this again.

 So.....a digital scale. It's always confused me, especially after I thought I measured the correct amount of flour one day only to discover, I didn't convert from a liquid measurement. Way too much flour. This is disappointing when you've already mixed up multiple ingredients so you have to toss it.  Wasteful.  But this time -  a stunning success!

I highly recommend this recipe and can say, the digital scale saved the day.  If I had measured using my measuring cups I would have used too much flour.  It would have been far too heavy a loaf.

 There are other recipes in this book that we've prepared and so far, all are keepers.

This was the book featured at Cook the Books and I am happy Deb chose this one. Remarkable story and great writing style.  If you want to know more about it at my other site click HERE.
