Healthy Recipe Thursday. Homemade Bread!
When
I married Dr. Jolley, he would make the most delicious homemade bread! Yes Dr.
Jolley can cook! While I claim to be a great cook, bread making was not
something I had ventured out to yet. After all a lot can go wrong, right? Not
with this recipe. Dr. Jolley had me give it a try and wala! I would dare say
this is a no fail recipe and easy to follow. I've been making this bread for 9
years now. People think I'm an expert at bread making lol. (I'll introduce you
to the real Bread Expert in August with some exciting stuff!) Anyhow, the staff
always gets excited when I bring a hot loaf of my bread into the office. Here's
the secret recipe ~
