Easy
French Bread
“Now bread…
easy means that sooner rather than later I will be sitting down to a hot,
fluffy piece and forgetting all about my inadequacies in the math and exercise
realms. That’s why I think good cooking is the great equalizer. Awwww, the
allure of home-baked bread. Here is a recipe for quick and easy French bread.
It makes 1+1 loaves.” Lisa
