    I love to bake bread, and although bread baking isn't really a craft, it is "artisan"! This is the result of some of my efforts:

    The herb breads use herbs from our garden, and the roasted sweet pepper bread is using up the last of our red bell peppers. Besides being fun to make, the baking breads make the house smell good, too!

    Well, now you've gone and done it!! :rolleyes: I haven't made bread in ages and we loved it when I did and it's getting cooler out so having the oven on will feel good and your breads look delicious and NOW I'm hungry for bread.
    You have found your 'enabler' calling ;)

    We really need that scratch and sniff component, first for Berniehs lilies and now for this bread. Yummm. You are definitely an artist.

    Getting to the season for homemade soup and bread in front of the fire.

    You just made me remember my childhood. My mother used to bake bread every Fri. Theses were the big loaves and she would make 6 loaves every Fri. The kitchen would smell so good the whole day. This was back in the 1950's so there were no bread machines then. My mouth waters thinking of the homemade butter and jam to go on a slice of fresh bread still warm from the oven.

    Y'all are too kind! Since the posting would run to several feet, I'm going to mention the types of bread on my blog and offer recipes to anyone who wants them.
    Cap'n--I bake on Mondays, but otherwise, the result is the same as your mom's Friday bakings. I figure the only "bread machines" in this household are at the ends of my wrists!

    Freshly baked bread with butter and honey drizzled over it is THE best thing ever. I think you've got us drooling all over the world with your photograph. :-D

    Hank, I have a whole staff of tasters--the entire population of our country road!
    However, I could use an unbiased, willing-to-try-anything tester for the crescent rolls and whole wheat bread. Care to apply?
