Well we are finally out of the White Breads and on to the Bran Breads! Can't say I'm too happy about this, because I'm not the biggest fan of bran. The occasional bran muffin keeps reinforcing this. I know there is a place for bran, but it's just not for me. So to be fair, I wasn't expecting much from this bread. I think the recipe is off because it said the loaf was going to be crisp, but this thing is pretty dry. It calls for pouring the batter into the bread pan but mine was no where near the consistency of being able to pour. This stuff was thick and chunky.
It tastes like everything that has bran in it, but the walnuts were a nice touch. They added some variety to this super bland loaf. The recipe also said that it goes well with cheese so I tried a piece of with some muenster, and it wasn't actually bad. The bran and nuts go well with a flavorful cheese like that. All of these bran recipes use molasses as their sweetener and I might just have to go super hard in that regard. I'm sure if it was sweeter then even I'd like it more.
Overall, it was a little better than I was expecting. A little part of me wants to skip the rest of these breads, but there's only 3 more so I might as well bake them. It doesn't hurt and they only make 1 loaf each, so I'm not going to be drowning in bran bread thankfully. If you do like bran bread then this one, and the next couple, are going to be a real treat for you!
