Got this from Recipezaar who got it from an old Amish Cookbook. Tried it the day I was making beef stew and it is so good for soaking up juices. Makes great sandwiches, too!

I will bookmark. It's nice to see a bread that you don't have to use a bread machine for. It looks good too!

This recipe is not without its problems. Needs to go in smaller loaf pans or the recipe doubled by half. And also the bake time or temp increased.
