Hi All,

If you have a bread machine that makes at least a 1.5 lb loaf you can make
this bread. I have never bought bread from the store and have been making
this recipe for 40 years. I started making it as a little girl when I would
spend summers win Connecticut with my grandparents. My Nana taught me how
to make this bread and for years I made it totally by hand. Now that the
arthritis has caught up with me, I have to use the bread machine to do the
kneading. I adapted the recipe after my husband bought me the first machine
that only made a 1 lb loaf and again after I got the Oster that makes a 1.5
lb loaf. There is not a holiday or special occasion that goes by that some
family member calls and asks if I can make the bread.

I do variations by adding different items to the dry contents. I make dill
bread by adding 4 Tbl of dried dill, Herb bread by adding 1.2 tsp of various
herbs, etc. The family favorite is the dill and the plain white, so that is
about all I make any more.

Anyway, everyone have fun with this and let me know how it goes.
