How a 1932 Depression-era cookbook turned peanut butter into bread
In short: Step back into the Great Depression to recreate a resourceful staple. This video demonstrates how to prepare a simple peanut butter bread using a recipe from the 1932 edition of Five Roses Flour: A Guide to Good Cooking.
The recipe relies on a handful of pantry essentials: 500 mL of all-purpose flour, 20 mL of baking powder, and 125 mL of peanut butter. After mixing the dry ingredients with milk and peanut butter, the batter is baked in a greased loaf tin at 160ºC (325ºF) for one hour.
This method offers a glimpse into the practical, economical cooking styles found in historical Canadian cookbooks, specifically the 1932 edition of the Five Roses Flour guide.
