Directions
Italian Hero Loaf, This loaf is wonderful as either an appetizer or a main dish I substitute the ‘italian’ meats for whatever strikes my mood at the moment, ham and swiss, corned beef, swiss and sauerkraut, whatever you happen to want that day You can also add ‘extras’ such as hot peppers, olives or onions before braiding the loaf I was lucky enough to find this recipe on the back of a rapid rise yeast packet years ago, and have been using it ever since , This loaf is wonderful as either an appetizer or a main dish I substitute the ‘italian’ meats for whatever strikes my mood at the moment, ham and swiss, corned beef, swiss and sauerkraut, whatever you happen to want that day You can also add ‘extras’ such as hot peppers, olives or onions before braiding the loaf I was lucky enough to find this recipe on the back of a rapid rise yeast packet years ago, and have been using it ever since
