I can't take credit for this recipe. It has been handed down for generations! Courtesy of my Grandma Nelson, this bread was a staple during my childhood and now I am passing it on to you. One of my children's favorites. This simple recipe will give you two loves and tons of flavor. Afraid of baking bread? Please don't be! I have made A LOT of mistakes while making this and it's still perfect. Use it to dip in soups and stews, make a sandwich out of it or just warm it up and savor it.
