Oh oh oh it's magic!

Have you ever thought about bread?  

I adore bread - the taste, the texture, the smell.  I'm even starting to enjoy wheat bread now that I make it myself.

And it never ceases to amaze me at how little it really takes to make bread.

It's magical.  Since starting my bread business, I'm even more convinced of that.

Think about how it is made.

Flour - not something you eat plain.  Add water to it and you have glue.

BUT add a little butter, salt, and some yeast, let it rise, let it bake, and you have FOOD!

Food to eat plain to settle a hungry tummy in the middle of the night, toast when you're sick, jam for a treat, add some meat and cheese and have a meal on the go.  Breadcrumbs for birds, french toast, paninis, crumbs on a casserole for crunch.

I love being part of the magic every day when I bake bread for my family, my friends, and me.

Bring home the bacon, fry it up in the pan....

Well, actually, I'm mixing up the dough and baking the bread.

Yep.  I started a home bread-baking business.

When I told Curly Girl about this on Monday (yes this is only my fourth day), she says "You got a job?!" Pause. "But not a real job."

I guess to my kids a "real job" is when you leave the house.  So in that sense, no, I don't have a real job.  But I am taking orders, baking extra, delivering bread.

So far, four days in, I love it.  I love to bake.  The consistency in ingredients, method, timing, that all appeals to me. And my house smells delicious and I can keep it that way without having to consume everything!

I have great friends who have already helped out by placing orders.  I have a logo and a facebook page.

But I have also learned, since I went to Walmart 3 days in a row, that I have no idea how to shop for a bread making business.  I'll have to work on that.
