Nanny's Homemade Bread

1970's Deming,NM · Nanny’s cookbook — Dorothy Bishop

One of those recipes that I wrote down one day while Nanny lovingly measured out each of the ingredients and waited patiently for me to write "something" down. I remember her saving coffee cans to make bread in. This was a Saturday routine for a long time when I was a young girl. Mom and I would go to Nanny and Grandpa's and have coffee and fresh bread!!! mmmm....
