Growing up on a farm, we always made our own bread. I didn't know there was "store bread" until I went to school. We lived with my grandparents until I was 4-1/2; Grandma won a lot of ribbons for her breads, donuts and cookies. The only thing I didn't like was her Saucijzen - sausage baked in a yeasty roll.

For years, I didn't bake much bread; my husband prefers Italian with a crunchy crust. The thing I baked most was cinnamon raisin bread, as my brother loves it.

FF a few years... I mentioned learning to make artisan bread to our daughter after I retired. She enrolled me in an artisan sourdough class at a local bakery. Holy cow... Sourdough is so much harder than yeast, lol. I've gotten the hang of it, have starter in the refrigerator and dried as a backup. Mostly I do a ciabatta, but really, still don't bake much. There are only 2 of us here to eat it!
