Making bread is very gratifying.

It's a lot of work, relatively, because I can just go and buy it at the store (lol), but the end result is always worth it.

Baking bread is an art...almost spiritual for me.

The only bread I'll ever bake is banana bread, but I do it extremely well

I will still get up really early on a sunday morning sometimes and get the bread froma great bakery fresh out of the oven.

Gratifying: yes it sure is, the whole process is so simple, just a little love one way or the other to get a totally different result. It's alive, literally, you need to feed it, to nurse it, to form it, to give it life.

One of the most precious and outrageously extravagant things you can do for another person is to set up a batch of breaddough the night before, cover it tight and keep it in the fridge, wake up real early and get it going again, bake it and present warm, fresh bread made with your own hands as breakfast to your lover. The effort, the caring, the planning... how much more meaninful is that than a five minute trip to the store? no offense y'all that dont bake, but ANYONE can make GREAT bread with just a little planning and a tiny bit of love.

I like just about any bread out there. Even the "dung-heap" stuff that is plastic wrapped. Bread is great in any form really. My freshman year in college I used to buy a loaf of shitty wheat bread and a can of nacho cheese. I would heat up the cheese, dip the bread and have what my floor mates used to call "ghetto fondue". But nothing beats fresh home baked bread. My first love was a bread fanatic. She was obsessed with it. She loves baking so much so went to school for it. She even baked my wedding cake and the bread for my reception. She can't cook for shit, but she is a goddess of the ovens. In highschool, while all my other buddies were buying their girls necklaces and flowers, and shit like that, I was going to gourmet bakeries and picking her up some loaves of fine breads.

i make fat fluffy white rolls that are slightly sweet, and fall apart very easily. i kinda screwed up the recipe for normal rolls once upon a time but everyone went mad for them...so i adopted the recipe

Yes, I had forgotten about the liquid form of bread. In the liquid form, my favorite is easily Markascher Landmann (sp?). That's like 2 whole loaves in a glass! Awesome stuff.

Yeah, it's black as tar. A buddy and I had several when we were in Berlin for business. It was incredible. There we were, chilling in the lounge at the Berlin Hilton. There was some sort of ball going on while we were there. All these beautiful ladies in slinky gowns were coming down this huge staircase in the lobby right next to the lounge. The beer, the girls, the fact that it was all being paid for by the company.......heaven in it's purest form.
