This recipe is from a family friend who passed on years back. It is the BEST bread, nice, firm and tasty. A true farmhouse bread. My mother used to make 10 loaves a week when we lived on the farm and stock up the freezer. It would go that fast! This recipe also makes a great base bread for raisin bread and cinnamon/brown...
