Comments
Great recipe, and thank you AliDalt and Killer Tomato for your comments! I would have subbed almond milk and lemon juice for the buttermilk but I was out. I only had one cup of applesauce left so I used that plus water -- I needed about 1.5 cups of water for the batter to mix easily and pour. I also only had whole wheat flour and white sugar, so I used those. Baked in a tradional loaf pan for about 55 minutes and it is delicious and moist! Quite sweet; I might use less sugar next time. Thank you!!
Update: baked this bread in a traditional bread pan (a large loaf pan) and it was great -- needed to cook it for 50 minutes though.
We didn't really like the bread when made with the buttermilk. We replaced the buttermilk with applesauce and prefer the flavor and texture after the switch. This is a very quick and easy recipe.
We made this bread in our adult class to go with the Ham and Vegetable Chowder -- didn't have an 8X8 square pan, so used an 8 inch round cake pan. Worked fine, no problems. Has anyone baked this using a traditional bread pan? If so, how were the results?
