Baking Bread

I have discovered over the last couple years the joy of making my own bread. I will readily admit that I do use a breadmachine to do most of the work, but I still find it fulfilling. The bread is usually delicious (sometimes I must mess up the recipe) and I know exactly what goes into it. How much sugar and salt is in a 2$ loaf of white bread at the grocery store? I don't know, but I know that my bread only has 2 tbsp sugar (sometimes I substitute 1 tbsp honey for the sugar) and 1 tsp of salt, and that makes me feel good. I also sub some of the white flour with whole wheat. Plus whenever a loaf comes out of the oven, I can have a hot fresh slice (perhaps with my own raspberry jam!).

We should start a new tradition: Birthday Bread (alliterative and delicious)! You bake it and I'll eat it!
