Lately when making breads I have substituted brown sugar for white. They taste fantastic!

So, if they taste great there is no problem in doing that right? or should I follow the directions?

I just think brown sugar esp with an apple or pineapple bread tastes so much better!

thanks

should I follow the directions?

Heavens, no!  It’s better to be the person who creates the directions for other people to follow.  FYI, brown sugar is just white sugar with some molasses added, so you’re effectively adding just a bit of molasses to your recipes.

Plus, if you try it, and the results are fab to you, carry on!!

right on!!! thanks all.

I love brown sugar in my recipes.  All my bread recipes call for brown. I prefer to use the dark brown.

Carolyn, do you have a preference?

No, I dont have a preference. I just love the taste also.

I have never tried straight molasses but it would be great to add in some recipes

I use rapadura in my recipes. Or honey or molasses. All seems to work.
