Anadama Bread was a new term for me, but when I saw the recipe in an old bread machine book I had, I knew I wanted to give it a try. Molasses was listed in the ingredients and though it's not normally an ingredient I would think of adding to bread, I was almost certain Kevin and I would enjoy eating this fresh made loaf.
Sure enough! The slices are moist and chock full of the characteristic molasses flavor. I love toasting my piece, spreading thick with butter and sprinkling (*generously*) with cinnamon-sugar.
