How to Make Bag End Brown Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, molasses, honey, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the raisins and/or nuts, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your slice of Middle-earth! Serve warm with butter and a glass of milk (or perhaps some ale!).
