GREENFIELD VILLAGE "HOBO BREAD"
A thoroughly American bread, orriginating during the Great Depression. This bread is baked in tin cans (just like the hoboes did it back in the day). It's moist and delicious and very easy. It's no wonder that it's a hit to all who visit Greenfield Village in Dearborn Michigan.
