Old fashioned New England flavor using a bread machine! You can mix the bread in the machine then bake it in the regular oven using your favorite pans, I do.

Personally did not like the flavor at all. If you like molasses maybe this bread is for you. It did have a good texture. Read More

Excellent. I had to add about 1/2 to 3/4 cup more of flour. It also reminded me of the bread my grandmother used to make so I added raisins green and red cherries and cut up glazed pineapple. It was absolutely deliscious. I also told my aunt and mother about it and my aunt went out and bought a breadmaker to make this bread. They both love it Read More

I made this bread by hand instead of using a bread-maker. I had to add approximately 1 cup of additional flour while I was kneading it. The bread turned out to be quite tasty. Read More

This dough was the most beautiful dough ever to come out of my bread machine. I let it rise in the pan 30 minutes before baking. The bread was smooth and dense but not too dense. Molasses flavor was a little more subtle than I would have liked but I'd be afraid to monkey with the proportions because the consistency was ideal. Read More

Yummy!!! I agree with the member who said it was one of the best things to come out of the bread machine. I did not bake in the machine but in the oven. The texture was AMAZING!!! Soft and chewy....had to make a second loaf...the first was gone in a flash!!! Flavor was QUITE mild...if you are looking for a MOLASSES flavor you may be dissappointed. We served it with a cream cheese spread for ginger snaps! It was AMAZING...will probably make another loaf today!!! Read More
