Chef’s notes
Recipe adapted from Mark Bittman via Joy the Baker.
Milk vs. yogurt:
I have tried both and didn't notice a big difference in texture. I use milk most often because it's less expensive.
Make it vegan:
This bread is already eggless, substitute your preferred non-dairy milk for dairy milk.
Serving suggestions:
Molasses bread is great with almond butter, cream cheese or homemade citrus curd with Greek yogurt!
Thank you to Native Roots Market in Norman for supplying the local clover honey for my honey loaf!
