Bread baking has become a weekly ritual at home. We all love the aroma of freshly baked bread. I think I may have told you this before. Earlier, I used to bake/buy bread to go with all the soups that I make. These days, I have a feeling that I make soups to go with all the awesome breads that I bake.
With so many varieties of breads to bake and soup to make, I will be doing this for years to come. My Friday dinners are sorted out :-)
