This would either be really good… Or horrible. Regardless of the outcome, I was intrigued. This recipe is from the 1932 cookbook published by the Four Roses Flour Company. The simple ingredients are typically those that we all have on hand. No yeast. No eggs. No butter. No kneading. No kidding. I was able to throw it all together in less than 10 minutes. The smell, as it baked, was intoxicating– like peanut butter cookies. The finished product was a golden but dense loaf of bread. I expected it to be much sweeter than it was, but it was still delicious with butter slathered on it while it was still hot. The rest I saved to make French toast with the following morning. Let me tell you, using it for French toast is where it’s at!
