Many people are discouraged from trying to make bread because they think it’s too difficult, or that you need special ingredients or equipment. It’s actually incredibly simple to make a really tasty loaf of fresh bread.

As it says in the video: you’re supposed to use ‘strong’ bread flour, but this recipe/demonstration just uses ordinary plain flour – and still works just fine.
In this video, Betty demonstrates a Brown Sugar Glazed Ham recipe, dating back to her college days (in the ’60′s). Being a starving student, Betty almost always had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the university cafeteria. One item that was served repeatedly was Glazed Ham. Betty (using her ever-analyzing food talents) created the following recipe as an imitation of the ham served in the cafeteria, and she has continued to make it throughout her 39 (almost 40!) years of marriage.

When you are ready to put your Brown Sugar Glazed Ham recipe together, remove the ham from the crock pot, and place it on a tray for slicing. Use a kitchen knife, slicer, or electric knife to slice the ham into equal pieces. You may decide to leave some of the ham unglazed for guests who prefer to skip the brown sugar flavor. In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of prepared mustard. Use about 1 teaspoon of orange juice to get them to combine. Now spread the tops and bottoms of your sliced ham and place them in an appropriately-sized …

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, or until the bean mixture is hot and bubbling. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2/3 cup of French fried onions and ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole. Bake for 5 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. This is a wonderful casserole, particularly for people who think they dont like vegetables! –Betty
