Were not sure if its the childhood memories or just a universally recognized smell among humans that makes us intrinsically happy - but we dont care! As long as its bread, were showing up. However, weve also noticed that despite how much people love fresh bread, few people actually make it themselves.
Fire the Oven: The Amateur Bakers Cookbook will thus teach you everything you need to know about amateur bread baking. You will learn what the basic ingredients for bread are, how to handle the dough, how to bake it, and much more. Were taking all of the taboo out of baking.

Our only recommendation would be to place a sign outside your door, either clarifying that you dont sell bread or what a loaf costs because the smell will get around the neighborhood and fast! Ultimately, its your choice if you decide to make bread baking your next hobby and if you want to monetize it. Our only job is to share what we know with you and let you spread your wings. Weve got sandwich bread, skillet bread, rosemary and olive bread, focaccia, brioche, flatbread, and much more! So what are we going to bake today?
