Thank you everyone. My husband gets credit for this. I was the baker in the house for years, having taught myself, and I wanted our kids to have healthy foods, so I just kept trying until I got it right. Then I stopped baking when both my children worked for a great bakery, between them for 7 years! My husband started doing more of the baking, and now it is his favorite thing to do on the week ends.
For those of you who haven’t baked many or any breads, and want to, I suggest you use Rose’s book and go for it! Nothing is as good as home baked bread, and you can make the kind you want. It all freezes well, so in our case of only 2 people in the house, and we aren’t huge eaters, we can eat it over a week or more.
