This is how my grandmother always shaped her bread. She used cake yeast, left the mixture out overnight, and completed the dough the next morning. Cooling loaves were covered with an old shawl. I have never been able to duplicate this bread, but it was delicious. Her bread board and the shawl are gone, but I still have one old black bread pan. Oh, Ruth, you are very lucky to have such a treasure, and such wonderful memories. Happy Baking! ~ MaryJane
