Recipe Story/Helpful Hints: My mom used to make this recipe, it got handed down to me to make every Christmas since I was 13-14 years old. Relatives and neighbors got breads for years. Small aluminum loaf pans for gifts (double the recipe) take about 40 minutes to bake. I have a special huge mixing bowl for a double batch. Oh, and don’t forget to add the sugar or you’ll get bricks!!
