Try our Boston Brown Bread Recipe and learn how to steam the nostalgic, moist, and sweet bread effortlessly in a can on the stove.
To the bowl, add the buttermilk and molasses and stir to combine.
Steam the bread for about 1 hour, checking the water level every 20 minutes. If the water is low, replenish it with the hot water from the kettle.
Begin to check the bread after 45 minutes by inserting a long wooden skewer into the center. When it comes out clean, the bread is done.
