Directions
Country White Bread, This is my favorite bread recipe (for white bread) It makes wonderful bread bowls for soup This makes 4 loaves but can easily be halved I’ve made half of it into loaves and half into breadbowls too , Pretty darn good I quite enjoyed this bread and it seemed pretty idiot proof I halved it and tossed it into two large loaf pans It made lovely sandwiches Very soft and tender bread I think the idea of raisins and cinnamon would absolutely ROCK with this I plan on trying it like that next week I plan on making two batches tomorrow and freezing after the first rise This way I can pull it out and let it thaw/second rise and have fresh bread for holiday company!
