There is nothing like homemade bread. This recipe is simple but yields big flavorful results! Baking bread is my passion. I do it often and lose myself in the process, letting my stress melt away as I work the dough. It is a magical process for me. I make bread all the time, but I have never shared this with you guys.

Bling; made for kids, by kids! My kids really like to get crafty. They also like to peek in my jewelry box and beg to wear all of the pretty things!
