This recipe from my cardboard box vault-and is from about 1980 something. It is a ripped out page from a Pillsbury Bake-Off contest winner. It is very good and I am sure you are going to like it a lot!

I followed the recipe exactly but my bread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
