Old family bread recipes
Doc Jim's post about ancient Greek recipes [1] got me thinking. Does anyone have old bread recipes from grandparents, great-grandparents, etc.? Do you use them? I have one for "brown bread" from about 100 years ago that I'm fond of. I wouldn't call it "artisan", but it makes a good basic WW loaf (the original recipe made 8 loaves, which I'm guessing was imperative when you lived on the the prairie).
