Modern guidance to help you succeed with this vintage recipe
This is a quick bread that relies on baking powder for leavening rather than yeast. The chemical reaction between baking powder and milk produces carbon dioxide gas that creates lift. Letting the batter rest for 20 minutes allows the bran to fully hydrate and the flour to absorb the liquid, resulting in a more tender crumb. The sugar helps with browning and moisture retention, while the nuts add structure and prevent the bread from becoming too dense.
The dry ingredients (flour, bran, nuts, sugar, salt, and baking powder) can be mixed together and stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Add the milk and proceed with the recipe when ready to bake.
Store the cooled bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week. The bread can also be frozen, well-wrapped, for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and toast slices lightly before serving to refresh the texture.
