Can someone help me understand the dry-wet-dry-wet-dry combo? I've been trying to look it up but can't find a good explanation!

It means alternately adding the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients. Usually you start and end with the dry ingredients. I hope this helps!

Wonderful texture and flavour. It halved easily. I noticed the same discrepancy as another commentator regarding the baking powder measurement when using my scale- I went for a middle number between the published grams vs. tsp measurement. It rose beautifully. The flavours are strong enough that if you went for the higher amount (in grams) you wouldn't taste it. I'm tempted to find a way of incorporating pumpkin puree next time, and half walnut oil (I used all sunflower this time).

There was so much molasses in this bread it was disgusting. I threw out two loaves. What a horrible waste.

Your reaction is a bit surprising. A quick survey of gingerbread and Boston brown bread recipes reveals this ratio of molasses to flours (and this recipe has quite a large volume of other ingredients) to be average to low for breads sweetened by molasses. Disgusting is a bell ringer of a description for a flavor others found to be delightful. Perhaps you haven’t experienced molasses sweetened baked goods, but your evaluation is very personal, and not at all kind. Please try kindness, you may find it returned. It makes life so much more pleasant, I promise!

Grow some thick skin. It ia one person’s personal opinion in light of their personal preferences, etc.
It will help next time if you would be nice too. Perhaps she misread the directions, got interrupted, or a host of many other reasons. We don’t know.

It is amazing that this bread is not sweet! I am very excited as it is chock full of wonderful seeds and nuts and will be a great breakfast or snack bread. I am curious about what oil people used?!

So I'm confused about the measurement of baking powder. When I look at conversion charts it says 3 teaspoons = 15 grams. Here it says 22.5?

This is so good! I halved the recipe and baked the loaf in a 9x5 inch pan for a little over an hour. My husband loves it, as did my 4 year old and 1-1/2 year old. This will be a regular in our household throughout fall and winter. It would make a great base for a gingerbread loaf- just sub in ground ginger and cinnamon then mix in candied ginger.

It's really not so much, considering it's ~5 cups of flour making 2 loaves.
