Baking Day !!
I Love the house smelling like homemade bread ! Thank Goodness for my bread maker taking all the hard work out of it. While I love to form the bread, and bake it into cute shapes; the remembering to go knead it is just beyond my baking capacity.

Along side my “plane” bread for the week,  I try to bake something with a little sweetness to it. My Plane bread is something basic in roll form for my husband to take to work as a bush pilot. Russian Kulich is the house favorite plane bread. I love Cinnamon Rolls made into toast form.  To mix it up a little I made a surprise roll of sorts with cinnamon and walnuts in the center. They tasted even better this morning with coffee — yummmm !
