boston brown bread

Boston brown bread -- a slowly fading American tradition -- is soft, moist, and dense. I personally love it spread with goat cheese!&nbsp;Makes 1 loaf.

100% Whole Grain Sourdough Boston Brown Bread {Instant Pot}

Souring stage...

When ready to bake, add 4 cups water and trivet (with handles up) to insert pot of pressure cooker.

Butter sides of baking dish (I use this souffle dish), or line with parchment paper.

Transfer dough into baking dish, then carefully lower dish into cooker.

Then put on the lid of your cooker, checking that the seals and all components are in good shape, including being in the sealing position.

If using an electric cooker, such as an Instant Pot, set to high for 50 minutes. Or if using a stove-top cooker, bring to high pressure and maintain pressure for a cook time of 50 minutes.

Once cycle is complete, quick release pressure.

Remove baking dish by holding trivet handles.

Finally, let bread cool completely in dish before removing and serving. Enjoy!
