This recipe looked really good on the glossy magazine page where we found it pictured and also tasted really good when we tried it in our kitchen.
Mom and I love main dishes loaded with lots of vegetables. We served this for supper when Dawn, Rachel, Jon, and Erika visited our house in celebration of Gert’s birthday.
We don’t know why this bread is called Roggesbrood, the Dutch word for rye bread (the recipe calls for cracked wheat flour), but we do know why it has become a family treat--caraway cheese or peanut butter make excellent toppings. Although finding cracked wheat flour in our part of the U.S. has been a challenge, Canadian stores are more accommodating.
Thoroughly combine in one bowl:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 2/3 cups flour

1 tsp. soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup salad oil
1/2 cup water
1 cup pumpkin
2 eggs
Pour into greased loaf pan and bake 1 hour at 350ºF.
On the farm it was 8 loaves made 3 times a week plus a pan of buns. Later, as the family grew smaller in town, 2 pans a week was the norm.
Puffed Wheats definitely taste better when something is added to them. This recipe was a staple in our house before we started making Rice Krispie bars.
We found this recipe in the Western cookbook and immediately liked it because it has a great almond taste without the hassle of rolling crust as for traditional almond patties.
