How to Make Treacle Bread
- In a medium saucepan, gently heat 1 cup of molasses and 1 cup of milk over low heat until warm. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground ginger (optional), and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
- Gradually add the warm molasses mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Lightly flour a clean surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently knead for 1-2 minutes until just combined. Do not overknead.
- Shape the dough into a round loaf approximately 1 1/2 inches thick. Place the loaf on a lightly floured baking sheet.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the loaf into 8 farls (quarters, then halved again).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The bread should be golden brown.
- Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
