I also grew up on homemade bread, but at the time while I was younger, I did not appreciate it because all my friends had "store-bought bread". But now I appreciate all the work my mother did so that my sister and I stayed healthy. I do not remember my mother putting in ascorbic acid, but I understand how well it can work with the yeast. I love to make bread and will definitely try this recipe. I am a product of parents from the depression era, and am proud of it.
