1. 1

   Recently I saw a copy of a magazine "Country Extra" in which I found the subject recipe. I tried it and found it to be a very good bread. It rises well has a good crumb and, I think, an excellent flavor. Some of you readers may find it interesting.

2. 2

   I use a Kitchenaid beginning with the paddle and switching to the Pam sprayed hook and knead for 15 minutes. Some where I have read that 1/3 teaspoon of yeast per cup of flour is sufficient thus, I do not use the full amount in the recipe. I find I must add a bit more flour. As a result, I finish with just under 4 pounds of dough. The dough ferments in a bowl until doubled. This I divide, shape and place in 4 X 8-inch loaf pans, cover and set aside to proof. Some days 1 1/2 to 2 hours are required to rise about 1-inch above the sides of the pans.
