Yesterday one of our bestest friends gifted us with a loaf of his homemade bread – we barely made it home with the thing intact – it was perfect! It had a thick, shiny, golden brown crust that gave your teeth a workout when chewing, a delicious flavor, the inside was thick and tasty, but tender as well. It even had the fancy schmancy diagonal slots across the top! I speak in past tense, although we do have a bit of it left, but it’s not going to last very much longer!
