My Journey into Bread Making

When I married my husband eleven years ago, we both knew he would be doing the cooking.  If it didn’t come in a box, I was clueless.  When I had the opportunity to stay home and raise my two boys, I had to learn how to cook out of necessity.  Then, once we were told that my youngest was allergic to peanuts, I decided to master one baked item at a time. It took many tries and lots of extra visits to the grocery store.  I started off easy with pancakes, muffins, cookies and then I got stuck on bread.  I tried four recipes from the internet and all were inedible. I was starting to think it was me.  The idea of making fresh bread without preservatives was something I just had to figure out.  I started looking at book reviews for bread baking and came across Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking

I received my book one month ago as a gift and I can now make perfect bread, every time.  There’s nothing more delicious then warm bread with butter.
