ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

directions

1. Put all ingredients except flour, baking soda and eggs, into a pot and bring to a boil.
2. Let cool.
3. Into a large bowl, put 2 cups of all purpose flour, and 1 tsp of baking soda.
4. Add cooled mixture and mix well.
5. Beat two eggs and add to mixture.
6. Line 2- 1 lb loaf pans with parchment paper (or you can use a 2 lb. loaf pan) and divide the mixture between the two pans (or put it all in the one 2 lb. pan) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
7. Bake for 1 hour on middle shelf.
8. (Since all ovens are different, I usually check after about 3/4 of an hour. Insert a skewer in the middle of the loaf to see if it comes out clean).
