The Best Red River Cereal Bread

Sarah Remmer, RD
This homemade bread recipe is made with Red River cereal. This bread was the only bread my grandmother consumed, and she made it every week! This dietitian mom loves it, and so do my three kids.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup Red River Cereal
  • 1/2 cup wheat germ or ground flax
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp baking soda
  • 1 litre buttermilk

Instructions
 

  • First preheat the oven to 350F.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine all of the dry ingredients (except the baking soda) and mix well with a large whisk - this is my lazy way of sifting.
  • Pour the buttermilk into a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup and add the baking soda - the soda will react with the buttermilk and start to bubble.
  • Form a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk/soda combination. Mix just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. You don't want to overdo it.
  • Divide the bread dough into 2 large buttered or oiled bread pans - (12"x4 1/2"x2 1/2") or 4 small pans.
  • Bake for 55-60 minutes. Test with a sharp knife - if it comes out clean - it's done.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes on cooling racks and then take them out of the pan to finish cooling on the rack.
