I originally made this bread in late November on a cold, snowy day. I posted a pic of it on the EZ DOH Facebook page, along with a creamy bowl of soup I had made. It was a warm, comforting meal that my hubby and I enjoyed together as we sat in our cozy home and watched the snow fall.
I'm now posting this recipe in memory of a friend's mother, who passed this week. I've been watching posts on Facebook from my friend as she has walked through the past two difficult months. Her posts have been full of wonderful memories and pictures of family. Anyone reading them could tell of the great love and affection they all share. In November, my friend took the time to comment on EZ DOH's pic of this bread, stating how she'd love the recipe. Today, I'm sharing it, because it reminds me of her family....warm, inviting, comforting, beautifully scented.....To you, Mel!
