Hi if any of you have a great squaw bread recipe, send it my way. I can't seem to find it in any stores near me, the dark, soft, deli-style squaw you can get in, well, deli's. Thanks a lot.

      Its a type of bread with rye and whole wheat flour, it has molasses, brown sugar, and I think raisins in it. Its very dark in color it has a slight sweetness to it, but best of all its super soft for a wheat bread. I already tried one of the recipes I found online, but it was not right (good, but not squaw). I am going to tweak it for next time. Well maybe someone out there can help me out. Thanks

        how does this one compare to the recipe you've got?

        its heavy on the oil, which should make it softer.. and it has four different types of flour
        any good?

          Yeah, thats the one I made. It was a great wheat bread, but I am going to sub the honey for molasses, it was too wet so I am going to decrease the water a bit. And I was thinking of adding some cocoa powder, like 1 Tbsp.

            oh yeah. i didnt notice the honey. I'd definitely substitute for molasses. Better for you, and adds a slight bitterness which makes it less cakelike.
            If you use molasses you probably wont need cocoa..

            there is a "molasses" bread popular here (switzerland) which is baked in a tin. what shape is that squaw bread you like to buy?

              Usually its a round loaf baked on a sheet. I am going to try the molasses in it tomorrow, I still haven't decided about the cocoa.
