Decorative Bread

Image
Our Mom always baked bread for our family and still does for Dad.  She taught us how to bake!  This is the same recipe she taught us  when we were young. This month is Mother's day.  We would like to wish our Mom a very happy Mother's Day! She is the GREATEST!! Decorative Bread I use the same recipe for this bread as I posted before under Myrna's Bread    My family loves it so it works for us! 1st ~ take enough dough to make a loaf and knead it until the air is all out. 2nd ~divide dough into 3 pieces and roll into strips with your hands.   (They don't have to be perfect.) 3rd ~ Braid.  Just like hair. 4th ~ Place in greased bread pan.  Let it rise until double and bake until light brown. This recipe makes 8 loaves.  It looks so beautiful!! Enjoy!
