Bread Baking There's nothing quite like the aroma and taste of home-baked bread and rolls. Generally, by the time you eat store-bought bread, it's several days old, and may contain preservatives and other additives that are not particularly good for you. Like most things you prepare yourself, there are few similiarities to what's in the store. Unfortunately, so many in our culture have forgotten what good food really tastes like...fresh fruit right from the tree, vegetables from your garden, and home made bread!
