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 sugar swirl bread. Just flatten the dough out before placing it in pans, spread with raisins, sugar and cinnamon or cinnamon and brown sugar then roll it up and place in pans to let rise. Its absolutely delicious!!
