Welcome Friends. It is Sunday morning so we're going to do another in our old cookbook series, and again today we're going to use the Five Roses Flour Cookbook. This copy was published in 1932. Now we've already done a recipe from this page the peanut butter bread and a lot of people said I like the orange honey bread right below it can you make
that?
