Thanks to brother Jerry for giving me encouragement and guidance in trying my hand at baking bread. It may not have come out as good as his excellent stuff,even my first loaf was really good, and I have made it a regular habit since first trying it in April. Jerry has been bringing bread to our annual “Brothers Four” gathering for years. We have always loved it, and he kept telling us it was really easy. Well, it is! After retirement, he sent me instructions for the basic recipe, and then I got a book and some basic equipment. I now have the confidence to try variations, and the best part of it is that I can whip up a 4-loaf batch of dough in about 10 min., and then prepare a loaf to back with about 5 min. of hands-on work. (The rest is waiting for the oven to heat up and for the bread to bake.)
