Mrs. Simmon's Bread

Welcome to 

Tummy Tickled Tuesday!

Where I share some to make your tummy happy!

When I was a Senior in High School I had this boyfriend whose mom made the most delicious bread.  Seriously...  I gained 10 pounds dating this guy because of this bread!  When I got married she gave me the recipe to make for my own family!  To this day it is one of our favorite breads to eat.  In fact... I made it for our recent drive from Florida to Texas.  For a 11 hour drive it lasted about 1 hour AND we had just eaten.  It's just so yummy!

So now I introduce to you....

Roll and stretch into snake like strands.  Use the strands to create two braids for two loaves.
