Instructions: Mix the first ingredients and set aside to work.

Mix as per usual for handmade bread - Mom always had Dad do the heavy work - then let raise 25 minutes. Punch down & make into 6 loaves. Put into greased pans. Let raise 1/2 hour. Bake at 350 F for 1 1/2 hours. This bread freezes well & must be sliced very thin or it is a chore to chew.
