SWMBO, my wife, would probably tell you that nothing is better than homemade bread.
Nothing smells as good.
Nothing tastes as good.
So I try to keep her happy.
And because making bread is one of the easiest kitchen duties I can imagine.
Recently I tried one of Jacques Pépin's recipes.
It's for soda bread and he insisted that it was simple and fast.
In fact, it was.
Here's my first loaf ever.
Judy gave her approval and much of it disappeared as we munched on an inside picnic dinner Thursday evening.
Thanks, Jacques!
Or should I say "Merci beaucoup".
