BAKED BROWN BREAD

Baked Brown Bread image

One of the best bread recipes in Grandma's Recipe Box. Grandma would have this bread in the oven before my sister and I got up. We'd wake to the smell of it baking. Breakfast would include thick, warm slices spread with apple butter. My sister still craves this bread.
