Bread Has Its Day
Today is National Homemade Bread Day. True fact. I’m convinced there is a day for just about everything. Lucky for me I work at a place that likes to celebrate random holidays and today is no exception. So last night I made cinnamon bread to bring into the office and hopefully it will win me a prize. I like winning.
I’ve never made this bread before so naturally I had to try it before I brought it to work. I approve. And so does Mr. S. It was actually quite easy. So easy in fact that I am sharing the recipe with you. Enjoy, and don’t forget to do some baking of your own today.
