A YEAR of FRESH BAKED BREAD


A YEAR of FRESH BAKED BREAD


I have been baking my own bread for over a year now, and it has been a life changing experience. When you have to prepare a day before you need the loaf, it not-so-subtly alters your perception of time. I've lost weight, I am more in touch with the foods I feed my body with, and I feel in markedly better health. Also heightened is my appreciation of all the bakers I have know throughout my life, my grandmothers, they pastry chefs I used to jeer during my Food & Beverage days, and the entire country of baguette eaters. I am not saying that mass produced bread isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread, but it is a small change that I would suggest anyone try for at least a month. Oh, and by the way, using a bread making machine is considered cheating....
