Grandma Holley's Bread Recipe

This is a bread recipe that has been in my family for years. Its my grandma's and I love it!

2 c. hot water
2 t. salt
1/4 c. oil
1/4 c. sugar or honey

1 T. Instant yeast mixed in 1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 c. white flour

Directions:
Put dry into wet mixture and beat with wooden spoon (around 2 min.) Gradually stir in more white flour until desired consistency or can't stir with spoon any more. Knead around 10 min.(give or take), adding flour as you go (keeping the dough feeling soft). You don't want it to feel very sticky when done kneading. Raise in bowl (covered with a kitchen towel) 1 1/2 hour. Put in grease bread pans and raise (covered with a kitchen towel) for 1 hour. Bake 350 20 minutes or more depending on your oven. (mine usually takes around 35 min.)

Zucchini Bread

This is the best Zucchini Bread I've ever had. My Mother got the recipe from a former ward member and family friend in Idaho, probably 30 years ago.

2 cups grated zucchini
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
3 tsp vanilla

Mix together well. In a seperate bowl mix:

3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
3 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp soda
3/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 cup nuts (optional)

Mix together and add cup by cup to the wet mixture. Spread into 2 well greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Cool 15 minutes before removing from pans.

In place of zucchini you can also use:
apples
carrots
bananas
cucumbers (seeded and pressed to remove liquid)
pumpkin

This is a copy of the original recipe that my Mother still cooks from. Recipes look like this only when they are much loved by all and cooked often. Enjoy.
