I have made this before and it is great with cream cheese and fresh dill while it is still warm! :) I also used a loaf pan

There are no one pound coffee cans anymore so I commandeered our kitchen counter stainless steel round storage cans. The kind you get a set of four for sugar, flour, etc!! Good lord I'm old! I did this recipe originally from the San Francisco newspaper when it first came out the crew at one firehouse did this. It is a unique and delicious bread! Do a proper rise or its dense!

I used to make this many years ago. It was unique; great heavy chewy texture, herby flavor. Think I'll start making it again!
