Sweet Spring Farm

So we have had two days that have ended in rain.  My dad always spent the rainy days baking cookies (he was a carpenter, rainy days if the house wasn't dried in, meant he was home). I spend my rainy day's spinning and baking bread. 

I bought a Amish cookbook a few years ago and last night I tried out a new recipe for a whole wheat yeast loaf bread.  The footnote at the bottom of the recipe bragged that it was a soft as white bread.  Well after baking and tasteing it I have to agree.  The only changes I will make next time, and there WILL be a next time.  Will be in the pans I use.  The recipe said that it would make 4 loaves.  I think it would have it I had used 4 small pans, but instead I used 2 small and 2 larger.  Next time I will split it between the two larger pans.

The book is Cooking  with the Horse & Buggy People Vol II from Carlisle Press

Tonight I'm making a Garlic Bubble Loaf from the same book.
