HARPER’S LOAF Makes two 8

The name of this bread refers to Paul Hurst, a world-renowned concert harpist and pi-
anist who has composed and recorded a tone poem called the Sequoia Symphony with
the Moscow State Radio and Television Orchestra. He is also a great bread lover. This
is his favorite recipe, which came from his harp teacher and mentor, the late DeWayne
Fulton. Technically an egg bread, this loaf is fluffy and tender. Use a roasted brand of
peanut oil (like Livora) for the best flavor. This bread is baked into two large loaves in
the oven. I like to use my Alfred clay ceramic bread pans to bake them (see Resources).
