Molasses Bread Recipe For Bread Maker

Although it has molasses and honey, this is not a sweet bread like banana or zucchini bread. This honey molasses bread is really similar to the bread served at steakhouses and has more of a mild sweetness. It goes great with a savory soup, stew, or served warm with lots of butter.

This honey molasses bread recipe is specifically for your bread machine but if you don’t have one you can still knead the dough by hand, let it rise, and bake it. I’ll include instructions for both methods below.

I love to make it with this Outback copycat Alice Springs chicken recipe. This bread goes well with butter, jam, or is great as a side for a hearty dinner.

Yes, be very careful when measuring. Molasses has a very strong flavor and will overpower bread or baked goods if you add too much.

Newfoundland Molasses Sweet Bread is both a Newfie tradition and a treat!

Steakhouse Brown Bread

Who doesn’t love homemade bread? I guess, in reality, it would be wise of me to stop making generalizations like that. But, in the case of bread, I believe it to be true! Even those of us who are gluten free or intolerant to breads, can appreciate the art of a homemade bread.

I was fortunate enough to grow up in a home where bread was a meal staple. It didn’t matter what was being placed on the table. Bread would most certainly always be a part of it.

It might seem obvious that bread was a part of breakfast, and perfectly paired with bacon and eggs. But, bread is also quite common in lunch items too. Who can forget those ham and cheese, or PB & J sandwiches found in your school lunch bag every day?

Honey Wheat Molasses Bread

Lunches in Newfoundland often consisted of leftovers from the night before. And, sometimes, mom would open a bottle of preserved moose or seal meat. Those were paired with buttered bread and a cup of tea. Honestly, I couldn’t have been happier with those thing for lunch when I was a kid.

The same applied to dinner. Bread was served with rice and potato all of the time. Not dinner rolls, like some would expect from a child of the 80s, but actually homemade sliced white bread. One of the quickest and easiest dinners mom would make was French fries and bread.

I would never eat it now, because I know how bad it is. But, I still look back at it fondly. Mom would deep fry the fries until really crispy. She’d pile them on a plate and top them with a little spoonful of the frying oil. (I’m not kidding!) Then, she’d add a generous sprinkling of ground black pepper, and some ketchup. That was then served with a slice of buttered bread.

The bread, you see, was needed as a filler. My mother never thought of potatoes as anything but a vegetable, and she knew we were supposed to eat those! The extra spoonful of frying oil? Well, that was for you to dip the buttered bread into, because clearly, the butter wasn’t enough! She was priceless!

In our family home, Newfoundland Molasses Sweet Bread was considered a treat, a snack, and sometimes, a dessert. Sweet bread was rarely eaten like normal white bread. Sweet bread was always served with a cup of tea. And most time, there would be cheese, and maybe a canned luncheon meat too. Oh, there would always be a jar of Preserved Mustard Pickles .

When my mom made Newfoundland Molasses Sweet Bread, she would add raisins too. I loved the bread, but hated the raisins. I would painstakingly pick every one out! This bread was also considered a bedtime snack. Very often, a thick slice – sometimes toasted! – with a good smear of butter was handed to us kids before bedtime.

Amish White Bread (best Soft Sandwich Bread!)

Now, I tend to eatNewfoundland Molasses Sweet Bread in only one fashion. It must be toasted not once, but twice. Because, I love extra crispy toast. It must have lots of butter, and be served with the hottest cup of coffee my mouth can handle. That’s the best way to eat it; to me, it’s quite possibly my most favourite breakfast item!

When I was a kid, I hated raisins. But, now, I love them! Like my mom, I would have preferred to add raisins to this bread as well. But, McKenna cannot stand raisins. She does, however, love a nice slice of toasted homemade bread, so for her sake, I left the raisins out. You can make it either way, just be sure to add the raisins to the recipe at the right time. See the recipe card below for details.

Light and fluffy, slightly sweet, and super easy to make, Newfoundland Molasses Sweet Bread is sure to be a favourite recipe of yours. Fall demands sweet bread, and GoT fans, as you know, winter is coming! Therefore, you need bread that’s warm and filling.

One last thing, this recipe requires some patience. It’s not a fast-make bread. You do need to work the dough. You will need to let the dough rise more than once, but the end result is worth it. You’ll yield four large loaves, and they freeze quite well. See recipe card below for more details.

Proofing/rising times may vary, depending on the temperature of your home and/or kitchen.  The second proof is the most important.  To ensure your bread is light and fluffy, and perfectly cooked, be sure the dough has risen at least 2 inches above the pan before baking.

To freeze, allow loaves to fully cool.  Wrap loaves in wax or parchment paper.  Then wrap tightly in plastic wrap.  Place wrapped loaves in a large seal-able freezer bag and place in freezer.

To thaw, remove loaf from freezer bag and sit on kitchen counter for 2-3 hours.  Do not attempt to re-heat bread in the oven!

This two-loaf recipe is also great for doing one weekly bake, keeping one out and freezing the second loaf for later in the week. An extra loaf also makes a great and welcomed gift for family, friend or neighbour :)

Oats – Large-flake, old-fashioned rolled oats are recommended here. In a pinch, you could probably use quick-cooking oats. Instant oats are less idea.

Molasses – For best results, use “Fancy” molasses, rather than Cooking or Blackstrap molasses, which has a much stronger and harsher flavour. If you only have Cooking molasses on hand, you could try using half molasses/half honey, to temper the molasses a bit.

All-purpose flour and whole wheat flour – This recipe uses a combination of all purpose flour, together with some whole wheat flour. I have only tested this recipe with the specified ratio of all purpose to whole wheat flour, so it is recommended that you keep to these amounts for best results. If you don’t have whole wheat flour on hand, you can replace with more all-purpose flour. You may need to use additional flour over-all with this substitution.

Yeast – you’ll want to use regular
