Family Bucket List: Homemade Baked Long Johns

Yes, another recipe was on our family bucket list.  I figured this would be a great time to start making some of those recipes that are kid-friendly that I've been putting off and have been sitting on my Pinterest boards for a while.  This was one of those recipes. 

Although this is more of a dense bread recipe, the kids (and my husband) loved these "long johns."  They were really easy to make too.  If you love long johns, these are not the same texture/consistency...they are much heavier, but they are still good.
