Myrtle's Note: I had to cut the recipe in half and made mistakes on the first three attempts at trying this recipe because baking maths are difficult for me now. I persevered because it is a favorite of my dear friend Mary. And I like old recipes! I used King Arthur White Whole Wheat Bread. The bread is close-textured, moist, and sort of a nutty sweet flavor. I slathered it with Pulgra's European butter. Mighty, mighty tasty!
Yield: 1 loaf
