For a richer flavor, use dark molasses. If you don't have time for a long first rise, you can use the 'rapid rise' or 'instant' yeast and shorten the rising time. To ensure even baking, rotate the loaf halfway through the baking time. Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
