Bread Recipe

I'm baking bread today.   Well, kind of.   I'm actually going to make pizza for supper but I start with a recipe for bread.  

I've had this recipe for almost 45 years.  It was in our paper sometime in the mid 70's.  The article with the recipe starts out by saying with the rising price of gas, possibly going to .60 cents a gallon,  we may be looking at returning to doing things like baking our own bread.  

Wouldn't that be wonderful?   Of course our salaries would not be what they are today either.  At that time we lived on about $800 a month.   We had four kids and one about to enter college. 

ANYWAY...today I'll be making pizza with a very old bread recipe and thinking about how nice it would be if we only had to pay .60 cents a gallon for gas.
