Bread Fever & New Toys

I'm sting by the busy bees! My obsession of dough playing continues as my bread fever catches on.

Bread is a staple food in my household.  I am making bread almost on a daily basis.

I find it addictive yet therapeutic! Making emulsifer-free bread at home is not difficult task after all.

Have you seen these bread?  Commonly seen, as good as the old-school sugar donuts one find it in our neighbourhood & nostalgic bakery. My kiddos decorated the bread effortlessly in the count of 123!
