Personal Notes:
This is a recipie from the Roecker Family Bakery in Marion, Ohio. I obtained the recipie from Jean Ann Roecker. The original reicpie called for 25 pounds of flour so I've tried to adjust each of the ingredients accordingly. Some proportionately adjusted ingredient amouonts did not seem quite right for a small batch so I adjusted a few things conforming them in volume to another small batch recipie.
