Bishops Nut Bread Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Ruskingirl / All my dishes 1 year, 8 months ago Found an old cookbook from a Ladies circle in Fairbanks, Alaska. It is from the 60's. I found this bread interesting and thought I would post it. I guess it is more of a Christmas bread, but, what the hay. Enjoy! Cook:85m Servings:1	Ruskingirl

Sounds terrific! Love anything with chocolate chunks. To tell you the truth, the title of the bread sounded a little risque and it momentarily startled me when I saw it *stifling giggle* But I KNOW you don't mean any disrespect, especially not on the clergy *snicker snort*

Mmm...I was reading through the ingredients thinking how good it sounded and THEN I got to the chocolate. Sounds luscious!
