I unrolled ...

So, I got really into baking my own bread lately. It’s awesome, the smell, the taste, everything. But I quickly ran into a problem – how the heck do I keep this bread fresh? I mean, I don’t want it to get all moldy and gross after just a couple of days. I started experimenting, you know, like a mad scientist in the kitchen. My ...

Okay, so I’ve been wanting to try baking bread for a while, but full loaves always seemed like a big commitment. You know, what if it doesn’t turn out?
