Personal Notes:
This is Gramma Young's recipe. Aunt Shaun will remember arriving at Gramma's after what seemed like a 12 hour drive (actual time 5 hours) we would knock and Gramma would opened the door and the smell of fresh bread came spilling out!! We would give her a big hug and head strait for the the kitchen. This recipe takes most of the day to make but it's so worth it. Also Gramma used to make three piece buns but regular buns will work to as well as loaves. If you want to try to make the 3 piece buns facetime me and I'll walk you through it.
