Enjoying free time at home these days? Here's an easy bread recipe for you.

Home today with nothing to do?  Bake some bread!  It doesn't

have to be a difficult recipe or even one that uses yeast.  This one is neither of those!  It's a good old fashioned white bread recipe.  Start by mixing 3 cups of self-rising flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.  You may choose to leave the salt out if you wish.

In another bowl, mix 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of melted butter and 3/4 cup of sugar.

Mix 1 and 1/2 cups of milk with your sugar mixture.  Stir in the dry ingredients.  That's it!

Pour in a greased pan or baking dish (yes, I use butter to grease my pan) and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes until an inserted knife comes out clean.

 Golden brown perfection!

 Can you smell it?

This makes a wonderful loaf for toast or sandwiches.

 Fabulous with peanut butter!

 Or just butter too!

Do you have some walnuts or cranberries?  Stir a 1/2 cup of either one in before baking or one cup combined.  Soooo good!!
