Directions
Brown Bread,This is my mother-in-laws famous brown bread recipe. We find these rolls at every family gathering! I reach for this recipe over and over again when we are craving bread for it has so few ingredients and so easy to make. My kids make a meal out of it in the mornings especially when they get to slather their own homemade strawberry jam over the top! Makes 3 loaves or 48 rolls,I divided the recipe by three to make one loaf and used butter instead of crisco. Kneaded the dough down 3 times as I wanted a finer texture (no folding). used 1/2 cup of butter (accidentally!) but the texture and taste still came out great. Really happy with my first go at this recipe!,I have been looking for a recipe like this for so long! It was wonderful. I only made one loaf and didnt have time to cook it for the whole 40-45 min (more like 30) but it was still delicious. Next time I make it I will cook it the whole time because mine was a little too dense/moist. Also, used rapid rise yeast, so I combined all the dry and then all the wet but it still turned out great. Next time I’ll make all three loaves. Thanks!!!!
