Boston Brown Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole-wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 cup raisins
• 3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour a loaf pan, 9 1/4 by 5 1/4 by 2 3/4 inches, knocking out excess flour. In a large bowl whisk together dry ingredients. Stir in remaining ingredients until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool bread in pan on a rack for 5 minutes. Turn loaf out onto rack and cool completely before slicing.
