I really love homemade bread. I don't make it very often in the summertime. The oven heats up the apartment to nearly unbearable. But yesterday morning the temperature outside was in the teens, a few snowflakes were blowing past my window and it seemed like a good day for baking.
My Mom made the most delicious yeast rolls in the world. So using her recipe, I stirred up a batch. I could tell that it had been a while since I kneaded bread. A hot shower got rid of the aches in my arms and shoulders!
Not content with just rolls, I made another large batch of bread dough.....enough for two loaves and a pan of cinnamon rolls. If I am going to make a mess, I might as well make it worthwhile. All of it turned out really good.
I miss having kids around to swipe hot rolls just out of the oven, slathering them with butter. Or fighting over who gets the heel from a warm loaf of bread. Eating the heel isn't quite as much fun if you can't beat a sibling to it.
