(Although I am posting this recipe, I am in no way endorsing this recipe. Mom's bread was notorious for being hard to chew! I can't remember what embarrassed me more whenever I had a peanut butter sandwich for lunch... the fact that it was made with 3 inch wide slices of mom's wheat bread or that it was packaged in a very worn, obviously recycled Wonder Bread plastic bag! I usually only had time to take about 3 or 4 bites of my sandwich since it took so long to chew and swallow a single bite.)
