1 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon, optional
1 c. Kellogg's All Bran
1/2 c. seedless raisins
2 tbsp. shortening
1/3 c. molasses
3/4 c. hot water
1 egg

Sift together flour, soda, salt and cinnamon. Measure All Bran, raisins, shortening and molasses into mixing bowl. Add hot water, stirring until shortening is melted. Add egg and beat well. Add sifted dry ingredients, stirring only until combined.

Fill 2 greased cans (4 1/2 inches deep, 2 3/4 inches across) about 2/3 full; or spread in greased 9 1/2 x 5 1/4 inch loaf pan.

Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) about 45 minutes for canned bread or about 35 minutes for loaf bread. Remove from cans or pan, slice and serve hot. Yield: 2 loaves, 4 1/2 x 2 3/4 inches or 1 loaf, 9 1/2 x 5 1/4 inches. NOTE: For mild flavored brown bread, use light molasses; for full flavored brown bread, use dark molasses.
