each of sugar, flour and milk. Stir. Days 6,7,8,9: Stir once each day. Day 10: Add 1 cup each of

Bread: Mix all the ingredients well with a wooden spoon. Pour into 2 well-greased and sugared bread
loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. This freezes very well.
Great to give as a gift.
Raisins, chopped apples, drained crushed pineapple, dates, chopped nuts or chocolate chips may be
added to the batter before pouring into the pans. Use 3/4 cup of whatever you desire to add.
