Quick Farina Bread

This recipe arose out of necessity, ie being out of bread and having forgotten to get some at the store. I like to bake my own bread, but I usually detest the length of time that it takes to do it. Old fashioned bread is therapeutic, but time-consuming. So, remembering a muffin recipe somewhere, I adapted it to create this quick bread recipe I present to you now:

Quick Farina Bread

1 egg
1 c. buttermilk
1/4 c. any granular sugar (I used raw sugar this week)
1 c. dry cream of farina/cream of wheat/malt-o-meal etc cereal
1 c. self-rising flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda

Mix everything together except the baking soda; add it last and combine well. Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake at 375 degree Fahrenheit oven for about half an hour.

I cut the loaf in half crosswise, then stood each half on end and got three slices from it. This is a crispy edge, crumbly sort of homey bread that went really well with our bean soup, but not so well soaked in the broth.
