The Gift We Gave the Most



Mimi first introduced this to me. It took forever to try it, but soon became a favorite: Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day - read the whole article from MotherEarthNews.com, which summarizes the book and gives recipes.

We made up at least a dozen buckets of this dough and delivered it to our friends and family as gifts. As a little girl, my parents used to load us into the car, along with a dozen packets of homemade Bean-Pot Soup Starter Bundles or - my favorite - my dad's peanutbutter fudge. It is a blessing to give.

  3. I followed your link to MEN. I think that I am going to give the bread a try. I love the idea of making the dough once, and then using it as needed!

    Blessed Christmas to you!

  7. Dh is the breadbaker here but if he made it this easy for me I might even have fresh bread at all our meals which would be an inexpensive way to fill all those hungry bellies! Thanks for the link and the enticing photo!
