Episode 5: Boston Baked Beans and brown bread
Boston Baked Beans are one of my all time favorites. And really if you want to enjoy this the only way to do it is to make it yourself. This takes very little active time. But it's so so delicious.
Boston Baked Beans * 1lbs Beans (Navy, Soldier, Yellow Eye, Pinto all work) * 1 large onion * 1/2 Cup Molasses * 4 Tablespoon sugar * 1 teaspoon salt * 1 teaspoon mustard powder
Use a nice large heavy pot. You can soak beans overnight to speed cooking time. Cook onions in a bit of oil briefly (3 minutes or so). Add beans, molasses, sugar, salt, and mustard powder. Cover with 2-3 inches of water. Bring to a heavy boil for 10 minutes on the stovetop. Then put into a 325°F oven and bake for 6-8 hours. Check periodically and add water if they are getting too dry. When done they will be very dark, there will be a wonderful aroma in your house. Beans will be distinct but tender.
Brown Bread Probably one of my all time favorites from my childhood. This is just so so so good.
* 1 Cup Corn Meal (Yellow) * 1 Cup Rye Flour (OK to substitute whole wheat if you don't have rye) * 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour * 1 Cup raisins * 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda * 2 Cups Buttermilk (if you don't have buttermilk use regular milk and add a teaspoon of vinegar) * 3/4 Cup Molasses * 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix dry. Add liquid ingredients. Mix until incorporated. Put in a quart coffee can (or tomato can). Cover with aluminum foil. Secure with rubber band or twine. Place inside of a pot with a lid, make sure can fits inside pot with lid on. Bring water to a boil. Put lid on. Turn down the temperature. Allow bread to steam for 2 hours.
