It got its name because the recipe was passed from neighbor to neighbor until the original title was forgotten, but what an appropriate title! You know it has to be good to be passed on and on like that! And surprise! No kneading! Just mix it up, and there you go. The instructions are easy to follow and its a delicious bread with no equal.
