Bake Your Own Bread

There is nothing like the aroma or taste of fresh baked bread; and what more glorious joy than to know it was lovingly made by you!

Bread making is not nearly as difficult as you might think. The ingredients are simple. Making the dough only takes about 20 minutes, and the rest of the work is done by the yeast. Once the bread has risen and is placed in the oven, the whole house will fill with the wonderful aroma.

Homemade bread is healthier than store bought bread. Bread bought at the store is full of preservatives. Preservatives are not natural and they are not good for your body. Read the labels, even breads that are made with whole grains still list preservatives and other ingredients like high fructose corn syrup.
