This is my Mom's white bread, I've listed the recipe for 1 loaf, but she used to make 6 loaves/week so you can easily increase the recipe size. It's also very adaptable, any liquid from milk to water to tomato soup will work.

- 1.5 tbsp lard shopping list
- 1.5 tsp salt shopping list
- ¼ c sugar shopping list
