Grandpa's Bread

"This is a simple recipe for a hardy bread that our Grandpa taught us. This is best eaten right out of the oven, with butter! We use a food processor to mix the dough, but I'm sure it could be mixed by hand."

  1. This was great bread! I used ground flax meal instead of the wheat bran and made a round loaf. Came out very nicely and was great with butter right out of the oven. Thanks for posting. Made for Spring PAC 2011!
