Bread--the gift that keeps on giving



Dad replaced our old kitchen aid with a new one for Christmas. He makes at least 4 loafs of bread a week. He has been experimenting with many different types of bread. He has been making a lot of sourdough bread from a starter he got from Zach Cannon. Starter is basically wild yeast that has been captured. We started to call the starter "the beast" because it needs to be fed twice a day. He loves to make bread so much it has become a hobby for him. He tries to make it just right by using new baking techniques. There has been a huge benefit from all of this because we get freshly baked bread almost every day. It is usually very, very good. Thanks Dad!
