Our Daily Bread

This is a wonderful Bread recipe that was passed down to me by my Aunt Faye, who called it Our Daily Bread. She made the recipe at least once a week and sometimes twice she was a wonderful cook. I still miss her sometimes, but I have fond memories when I make the bread. This bread is a great family bread that is delicious, light with a crusty crust. I can't eat just one slice!

    To answer your question about the gram for the yeast. 1 packet would be 7 grams. I hope that helps. Have a great day!
