Making Bread for the First Time
I grew up making bread with my mom and in college I made a loaf every day--popped the ingredients in the breadmaker at night and it was hot and ready in the morning. My first time making bread by myself--no mom and no breadmaker...I was terrified! I still called mom, and this is the recipe we're going to use.

That is such a cute picture! I've been meaning to ask, how long do you let it cool before you take it out of the pan?
I really want to try this recipe!!! Are you going to put any more recipes together?
