Bonnie, that is one of my absolute favorites for sandwiches! I never had it with ham in it. Here in Missouri if you ask for ham salad it is *always* made with bologna. Strange..... but yummy!

My dad, a former cook in the Navy, taught me this. Watch the lump of dough you're kneading. Add flour as needed to keep it from being sticky. Fold the ends over the middle, press them in. Here's where the watching part comes in. As you knead, watch how the dough changes texture and sheen. Dough is done with the kneading when it takes on a kind of satiny look, almost but not quite a shine. Works every time. Hope this helps!
I've tried that too. Sometimes it is better to just give up on learning something. 20-30 tries seems to be my personal limit. DH can make bread and I can't. No biggie. Debra in VA See my quilts at
