Description
I have made this bread for many years. The recipe comes from and old book, over 25 years ago, the cover has left the book, but i believe it was called ohio state fair 4h winning recipes or something like this.
My sil wanted a hand made bread recipe. I search along time though my cookbook collection to find it. Thought i would post it to perserve it.
I haven't made it in a long long time. This was my go to recipe before the invention of bread machines. I will have to take the time to make it again soon. This recipe has never failed me.most and so tasty..
