The First Loaf

It's simple really.  After returning from Europe I've developed an appropriate dissatisfaction with the garden variety Wonder Bread that populates the shelves of the local bread aisle.  The Artisan breads from the grocery store bakery aren't bad, but what could be more fresh, cost-effective, and personally enriching than baking your own.  Here is a picture of my first loaf of bread.  It made for a good learning experience and tastes pretty good too.  It's a basic white bread with a bowl of oatmeal added to the dough.  Thanks Jane for the swell idea!  It's a hit.
