2 1/2 c  Whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 c  Wheat germ
1/3 c  Brown sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1 c  Raisins; mixed dark & light
2 ts Baking soda
1 7/8 c  Buttermilk
1/3 c  Molasses

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9 X 5 X 3-inch pan. Combine flour,
wheat germ, brown sugar, salt and raisins in a mixing bowl. Mix well. In a
second mixing bowl, mix baking soda, buttermilk and molasses, using a
wooden spoon. This misture will start to bubble. Immediately mix it into
the dry ingredients. Spoon the batter into the greased pan. Bake at once.
The bread is done when a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour. Turn out
of the pan and cool on a wire rack. Makes 1 loaf.
