I made it as a kid but don't remember where I got the recipe from or what
went into it. Only reason that I made it was that my dad was always saying
that he wanted brown bread. He would always get a confused look by
waitstaff. We knew that what he wanted was wheat bread but we could never
get him to say the right word. So every year or so, I'd make him some brown
bread. He never liked and couldn't figure out why I was making it.
