very delicious and satisfying. Made it for a family brunch get together. The only change I made was because i didn't have as much molasses on hand as I thought I did, so ended up using about 1/3 C molasses and topping it off with honey to make it 3/4 C. Still delicious and I love how low fat and high fiber it is! The time in the oven was exactly right, too.

Steaming the bread creates moist, dense loaves. For an afternoon snack with tea, spread slices with marmalade.

Ingredients
- 4.75 ounces whole wheat flour (about 1 cup)
- 4 ounces rye flour (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 3/4 cup molasses
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon grated orange rind
- Cooking spray
Preparation
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°.
- 2. Weigh or lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, cornmeal, raisins, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Combine buttermilk, molasses, butter, and rind. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until moistened. Divide batter evenly between 2 (8-inch) loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Tightly cover each pan with foil. Place pans in a 13 x 9–inch baking pan. Add boiling water to a depth of 1 inch. Cover larger pan with foil.
- 3. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. (Top of bread will feel slightly sticky.) Remove pans from water. Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack. Remove from pans; cool completely.
