This a version of Sheepherder's bread for the bread machine from
Great Bread Machine Recipes by Norman Garrett, c. 1992. I have made
it for many years in an old Panasonic 1 pound machine. While the
recipe calls specifically for all-purpose flour to give it an
authentic texture, I make it with Canadian all-purpose flour which is
similar to US bread flour. The recipe suggests to time the bread to
be done right before dinner; then tear it apart rather than slice it,
while still hot. It is best the first day.
