Great Grandma's Bran Bread

Note: Great Grandma Cleta Keller (Mom's grandma) often made this bread. If you are looking to regulate your system, this is the recipe to do it! It isn't a mistake that this recipe has no eggs, oil, or butter. It is meant to be a dense bread. I like it best toasted with butter.

2 cups flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups bran
1/2 cup sugar (or more)
1 cup molasses
1 tsp salt
1 pint milk (2 cups)
1 cup raisins
1 tsp soda dissolved in 1/3 cup hot water

Bake 1 hour in a 300 degree oven. Makes two regular loaves.
