2-1/2 c Whole-wheat flour

1/3 c Brown sugar

1 c Raisins; mixed dark & light

1-7/8 c Buttermilk

1-1/2 c Wheat germ

1/2 t Salt

2 t Baking soda

1/3 c Molasses

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9 X 5 X 3-inch pan. Combine flour, wheat germ,

brown sugar, salt and raisins in a mixing bowl. Mix well. In a second mixing bowl, mix

baking soda, buttermilk and molasses, using a wooden spoon. This misture will start to

bubble. Immediately mix it into the dry ingredients. Spoon the batter into the greased pan.

Bake at once. The bread is done when a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour. Turn out

of the pan and cool on a wire rack. Makes 1 loaf.
