Warm Bread or Biscuits
It's hard to crawl out of a warm
bed when the wind is blowing cold
outside, and the sun has yet to
appear from behind clouds that
look like snow is in the forecast.
Somehow, the smell of warm,
freshly baked bread makes the
morning seem more inviting.
Warm rolls also taste great with
an evening meal, especially with a
bowl of steaming hot soup.

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Put all
ingredients into blender. Cover
and process at “blend” until

tins half full. Bake at 450 degrees
for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350
degrees and bake for 35 minutes
longer.

11/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2/3 cup dairy sour cream
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

BROWN AND WHITE BREAD
TWISTS
White Bread:
Scald three cups milk and add
1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup lard and 2
tablespoons salt.
Cool to lukewarm. Dissolve 3
tablespoons yeast in a 1/2 cup
warm water (105 to 115 degrees).
Add approximately 15 cups white
flour. Knead and let rise for 20
minutes.
Brown Bread:
Scald 2 2/3 cups milk. Add 1/2
cup butter and 1 cup sugar and 2
teaspoons salt. Dissolve 1
tablespoon yeast in 2 cups warm
water. When milk mixture is cool,
add 2 beaten eggs. Sift together 5
cups whole wheat flour and 7 to 8
cups white flour. Add milk mixture
to flour and also stir in yeast.
Knead and let rise for 20 minutes.
Punch down both bread doughs
and let rise again, until dough rises
to double in size. Punch down and
divide each of the doughs into 6
portions. Knead dough to equal the
length of the pan. Twist one brown
portion and one white portion
together so it looks like a candy
cane. Do the remaining portions
like the one above. Place in
greased bread pans. Let rise and
bake at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour.
