Boston brown bread is a New England-born quick bread (the recipe uses baking soda instead of yeast to rise), most often oven-steamed in a can, although it can also be made in loaf pans. The grain mixture of equal parts wheat, rye, and corn flours -- also known as "brown-bread flour," which can sometimes be found premixed in specialty stores -- plus molasses gives it the dark, rich color and texture. More traditional recipes are egg-free, and the use of buttermilk instead of regular milk in some recipes makes this a relatively low-fat, inexpensive, easy bread. It is often served with Boston baked beans.
