COUNTRY BRAIDED BREAD
Home-made bread always adds a nice touch to a meal. I serve this with stew or pasta. It is a family favorite! Makes 2 loaves but only lasts one day ;) This recipe comes from a cook book by Patricia Cornwell, called "Food to Die For" --as cooked by the character Kay Scarpetta.

My grandmother inspired me to try cooking. Homemade bread is my passion. I've always loved it, and in order to satisfy my appetite for it, I decided I'd have to learn to make my own bread. Nothing tastes better than a warm slice topped with butter.-Al Latimer, Bentonville, Arizona
