| Flaky Sandwich Bread |
|
America's farms produced an abundance of grain during World War II, and
grain-based products like cereals were considered a nutritious addition to
all sorts of baked products. Toasted cereal flakes give added flavor to this
everyday sandwich bread.

|
1 3/4 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1 cup flaked whole-grain cereal 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar 4 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup milk 1 large egg 3 tablespoons light molasses 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening or butter (or a mixture), melted |

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch loaf pan.
Combine flour, cereal, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Beat together milk, egg, molasses and shortening in a small bowl. Add milk mixture to dry ingredients and stir until dry ingredients are moistened. Don't overbeat. Transfer to greased loaf pan. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool to room temperature, wrap tightly and refrigerate several hours before slicing. |
