There is nothing like....




......the smell of homemade bread baking in the oven. Tonight I made my first loaves of wheat bread with some help and pointers from my dad who informed me that when he was growing up (in a family of 7 kids, mind you) his mom would make 12.......yes 12 loaves of bread EVERY saturday and he would help her. Making 2 loaves is a lot of work..... I can't imagine making 12 every week. Grandma, if you read this...you are amazing. :-) I love the process of combining the ingredients and letting the dough rise. There is something satisfying about taking that first slice of warm bread and knowing that you put so much effort into it. Mmmmmmm. And now our house smells like freshly baked bread.
