Great Depression Era Bread

Main Page

This is a recipe I found a few months ago that dates back to 1933 for bread! During that time, normal baking stuff was hard to come by, so people made do. This bread is shockingly good especially with a little jam or some tea or coffee. It's also really really easy to make with stuff you've probably got lying around.

2 cups flour

A pinch of salt

1/4 cup sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/3 cup milk

1/2 cup peanut butter

Mix everything in the order I've provided, then bake at 325 for around 45 minutes. My oven is a little quick it seems, so just stick a toothpick in it just to be sure. Let it cool for a bit, then enjoy! You may experiment with add-ins like maybe trying slightly more peanut butter or whatever floats your boat.

Yours Truly,

Syd
