Hippie Bread image

Mom got this recipe in the early 70's from someone at work. This is a great bread for sandwiches or even a rustic style supper. The bread is a coarse style bread - full of air holes but loaded with fresh made bread flavor. No need for a bread machine for this bread! Prep time does not include overnight rise time.

I made this bread for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it! I even had people asking me for the recipe. I will definitely be making this bread again.

This bread was a disappointment. It was dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly and I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this bread again.
