Directions
Hi there! I use this recipe in my bread machine but you could bake
it in two loaf pans just as easily. It's heavenly when it's warm and
spread with cream cheese! All I have to do is dump the ingredients
into the bread machine and press a button. You'd have to knead, etc.
without one. Possible, but I have no pioneer spirit.
Enjoy!---Mary in SD Reformatted by Elaine Radis

The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, mint and asafoetida. For the next few years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
