She made this bread every day of her life until she had to go to assisted living. She lived to be 105 so I know the recipe is very old.

9This is the recipe exactly as she told it to me. If you've never made bread before, I would try a different recipe with more detail first. She was better at showing us what to do than explaining all the steps. She's been gone for 10 years now and I think of her every time I make this.
