Me and bread

I have always enjoyed eating fresh from the oven homemade bread. I was spoiled growing up with my mom making cinnamon raisin bread, white and wheat bread. I loved it and to me it is one of the simple pleasures in life to truly enjoy.

Having said that, I have had a challenge making bread by myself. I have been told, well maybe you are not a baker and other assorted things. But I kept trying different recipes with the hope that one would turn out fluffy and delicious and light. I had friends give me a recipe and tell me that it always works for them. Well, not for me.

Well, that all changed last week. I borrowed a fantastic wheat grinder from my friend and I tried the latest bread recipe from my other friend. I waited to see if the bread would rise - and it started to and then kept going until I cooked it and it came out perfect!!!

I wish that I would have taken a picture to document this momentous occasion - but I was too excited to eat fresh bread. Maybe next time!

This may not seem like an exciting piece of news to some but to me - this is huge! Thanks to Traci for the recipe that finally worked for me!
