*** I have found that if I do this bread in a brown coated pan, if after 1 hour the bread isn’t quite done, I place it in the microwave on high for 3 minutes. This keeps the top from over cooking. YUMMY BREAD!!!! ENJOY ALL!

This bread recipe is one similar to the one I use to make in the seventies. I tried it and was surprised how good it tasted. It holds together well, and is just the right size when you want a smaller sandwich with a bowl of warm soup. It also packs well in a lunch bag, which is a big PLUS!!! It is also great for small loaves to be served at a dinner party. This recipe makes 7 10 1/2 ounce soup can loaves.
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature(2 sticks)
2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
3 cups plus 1 Tbs all-purpose flour(divided)
