Glenda Lehman Ervin, our Director of Marketing, swears by this “family secret” bread recipe.
“My mother baked bread for us each week. How many times I came home to bread still rising in the dough pan, lightly covered with a damp cloth. Better yet, the smell of freshly baked bread, wafting through the kitchen.”
“I don’t have time to bake bread each week,” she says, “but I want my daughter to have those memories. So I use this recipe and we bake together, on lazy Sunday afternoons or cold winter evenings. Because if I don’t teach her how to bake bread, how will she teach her daughter? The last time we baked bread, the entire loaf was gone by bedtime!”
Editor’s Note: This recipe was originally published in October 2013.
