Bread making is such a satisfying process and it dates back to Roman times. Historians say that the kind of bread eaten by Romans is determined by their social class. There were basically three varieties: 'plebeian' black bread, made from barely sifted flour; 'second', made from slightly refined flour; and 'white bread', eaten only by the rich. Hmmm, that was one interesting trivia.
Personally for me, its an awesome experience to have a fresh baked bread for breakfast/lunch or dinner and the best part is - it could be eaten with anything and everything. Even, just a simple dip - Olive oil & minced garlic will do...:)
