Sjoerd, This is a recipe that has been handed down for 5 generations. My granddaughter will make it the 6th. We are still making it in the same bread pail. It's had many repairs but still cranking. The pail is dated 1904 and came from the ST. Louis exposition. It's handled with tender loving care.
Wow Donna--I like traditions. This one is fun, of course--but so personally meaningful. Y'know Miz D--I wouldn't mind seeing a piccy or two of this heirloom bread pail of yours.
When I was a kid in the 1950,s, my Mom would bake 10 loaves of homemade bread every Fri. a whole weeks worth. The only time I got bought bread was at school. Sure miss that bread, hot and fresh from the oven!
All this bread is made at one time. So I get a good workout turning that crank. ( photo / image / picture from Donna S's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Donna S's Garden ) cover ( photo / image / picture from Donna S's Garden ) pail ( photo / image / picture from Donna S's Garden )
Carolyn, No it's not sour dough. It's a German coffee bread and its sweet. Makes the best turkey sandwich in the world and toast is wonderful. If I could I would send you all a loaf.
Way cool, Donna. Nice to see a tool that is still usable after so many years, not just a collectible because this or that part is missing and not replaceable. The bread sounds good.
Hi Donna,..very appetizing display,..everyone can recall the aroma of freshly baked bread,..this bread baked on a long traditional recipe and made in the same pail makes it the more interesting and i bet tasty.
