Boston Brown Bread in an Instant Pot
I like Boston baked beans. I used to be able to buy Boston baked bread as an accompaniment in most grocery stores, but not around here. So I tried making it, and found a recipe for doing it in an Instant Pot, rather than steaming it in a coffee can in the oven as is traditional. The result? Passable, although it needed more salt. Basically, it's equal parts whole wheat flour, rye flour, and cornmeal mixed with buttermilk and a leavening agent. I used yeast, and when I make this again I'll up the salt and add raisins.

A friend in Idaho gave me a can last year and said that she found it online. I cherished it as I ate it. Born in beantown and spent most of my childhood within 200 miles of it, I ate a lot of B&M style beans and brown bread, home-made and canned.
Thanks for the recipe, I will give it a try, there's nothing like brown bread, I don't care if it comes in a can or not.
