Asparagus is beginning to be seen in some areas. If you're like me you like your asparagus simply drizzled with a little olive oil, salt and peppered, and baked. Yum, yum! But how about some asparagus bread for those who find themselves with an abundance of spears and want to try something a little different? This recipe was sent to me by an Amish woman in Tennessee where asparagus is now starting to be seen and harvested.

Hi Kevin. This recipe sounds interesting.....haven't heard of it before. I need a little clarification please. You have 1 tsp of salt listed twice. And point 3 cups (.3) of flour. I'm assuming this means 3 whole cups??? And is there another ingredient at the bottom of the list? There is just a dot (.) after cinnamon. Thanks in advance for clearing this up. Love your site.

Carol, salt should only be listed once and it is 3 cups of flour. And nothing after the cinnamon. I apologize, some errors when I was formatting the recipe. I will correct them later. Thank you for your kind words!
