Personal Notes:
For Mom (Jean) and I (Shirlee) this was our "go to" bread recipe. We have been making this since I was in High School at least, which is nearly 50 years. We would tease each other that someone must have changed the recipe because "yours is better than mine' I think it is just consistently making bread often enough to get the feel for the dough.
