A delightful loaf combining the rich taste of molasses with a hint of honey for a balanced sweetness.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Grease a 9x4 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or butter.
Ensure the pan is well-greased to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar.
Sifting helps to aerate the flour and mix the dry ingredients evenly.
In another bowl, mix the milk, molasses, and honey until well combined.
Using room temperature milk helps the ingredients combine more easily.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with an electric mixer until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf 5 minutes before the end of baking time to avoid overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the bottom from becoming soggy.
Slice and serve with your favorite spread or topping.
This bread pairs wonderfully with cream cheese or a drizzle of honey.
