Breadmaking, the Iggy’s Mom way
My mother made most of what we ate growing up, especially our bread. I still have a hard time eating storebought bread. It just tastes so spongy and bland and soggy to me. I like a hearty, dense bread. Thick-cut. With cheese. Mmm. Anyway, so when I’m not being lazy, I make bread which my children then refuse to eat so that I have to pay $2.29 per loaf of HFCS-free no-preservative wheat bread for them at the grocery store which they then eat inside of a week, but I digress. It makes me happy to eat homemade bread and that’s the important thing.
