My favorite type of bread is whole wheat for sandwiches and cinnamon raisin for eating plain. I do love bread and would love to win this book. Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite bread is warm with butter! If I have to be specific, I would say a nice French bread, crusty on the outside and chewy in the middle with maybe a little basil and parmesan. O.K., my mouth is watering now. Our whole family are bread addicts. Thanks for a chance at the giveaway!
My family loves fresh bread of any kind! I am certainly looking forward to reading this book and getting some great tips and ideas. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love this book to figure out why my bread always falls apart! š
The book would be wonderful-Carrie
I’ve baked my share of bricks over the years. I do love sourdough bread although I’ve never been highly successful at baking it. Thanks for all the great tips and strategies.

I love making bread and I am always looking for “good” recipes.
This would be a great addition to my baking.
I must admit.. I have NEVER made Bread before.. But with all of the excuse my french .. crap they put in things nowadays I would love to learn how to make my own bread with ingredients that I can pronounce! This would help me get started!
My bread always tastes horrible – I need this book!

This sounds like a great book! Thank you for having another drawing. Have a blessed weekend!
I’ve been teased for making “bricks” — it would be wonderful to have a bread making class in a book! Love your site!
Exciting! I’ve never been brave enough to make a yeasted bread yet, but I’d love to try!
Looks like a great gift!! I wonder who the lucky winner will be….
I haven’t met a type of bread that I didn’t like! Well, I don’t like caraway seeds on rye, but that’s the only exception lol! I think my favorite is just basic whole wheat bread, fresh from the oven š
I enjoy baking an cooking wholesome foods for my family, but bread is one of those things I have not mastered yet. I have tried many recipes, but none are unbelievably great. I’d love to learn to make bread that my husband and children drool over!
My favorite bread is whole wheat. My husband loves all bread. My favorite is the smell when its almost done baking.
I usually put a wee bit of sugar in my bread when I make it. If I have a wee bit of home made jam or jelly I put it in my bread dough instead of sugar. Love it!

First time making bread I was 11 yrs. now I am about 29. But I am sure there is still so much to learn. Most of the time the bread I have made is good, Talking about bread some home made bread with butter and strawberry jam would be perfect about now. Andrea
I’d like to know how to avoid bricks. sometimes a batch just turns out that way.
I took Lori’s breadmaking class through our local community ed and it was wonderful…especially the “bird seed” bread. I’ve never had a home baked bread that I didn’t like!
My favorite childhood bread memories is making monkey bread with my mom. Although the bread was refrigerated biscuits it was the time we spent together talking and laughing while whipping up a batch every Sunday morning to take to church.
OOOOO Fresh bread. Is there anything better?? I just received a grain mill and have made our first loaf of bread with freshly milled wheat. How fabulous. It wasn’t even a brick!! I’d love to learn more. This book sounds like a good place to start. Thanks Angela for your group!
I also love to make bread. When I make home made bread we love to eat it with dinner just out of the oven with butter. Would love to win this book.
I was just thinking that making my own bread might be interesting and —although probably not more frugal on a $ basis but healthier for my family and give us more “control” over the nutrients going into our children’s bodies. Sometimes when we start thinking about less spending and being more frugal, it can mean “cheaper”, more processed, and many times fast food from the chains. The worst!
I’d love to find more whole grain recipes with natural and great tasting additives.
I do have a great link from an awesome Public Radio show, the Splendid Table. . . .The Splendid Table “Cheap Eats”

My favorite type of bread… Hmm… I really can’t choose. I love bread!! And I’d be so happy if I could make some delicious homemade bread myself!
My favorite bread is raisin bread toasted with cinnamon and sugar on top. Yummy!
I’m just learning how to bake my own bread; whole wheat would be my dream bread!
My husband would like me to start baking our own bread. I think this book could help! Thank you for this chance to win it. I do love all kinds of bread. Banana bread and whole wheat bread are a couple of my favorites. Margaret
I have a daughter with type 1 diabetes and we are changing our eating habits in order to keep her blood sugars under control. This would be very helpful to us.
Would love this book! My favorite bread is banana bread. Smells so good. i love to add chocolate chips to it! YUMM!

I love bread and I love making it. My favorite is an apple, cinnamon bread. A favorite memory is of my aunt getting up at 6:00am every morning and baking bread.
I make bread once a week, and was thinking of increasing it. This sounds like a lovely book.
My favorite bread is whole grain. My kids aren’t too fond of it, but I love it!
I used to go over to Lori’s house to scrapbook when she lived right down the road from me in Sibley. It is great to see that she has written this wonderful book. My favorite childhood memory about bread is of pulling it apart in little bits and rolling it between my fingers before eating it. I was always convinced that it tasted better that way, LOL! My favorite kind of bread to make now is whole wheat and I make at least one loaf every week. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!
I love a bread called “choice bread” which was a staple when I was growing up in the caribbean. I also loved what we called “salt bread” which were buns that were common in our house too.
I’d love to have that book on hand; it sounds awesome! I have 2 favorite breads, one is cinnamon bread and the other is whole wheat!
My favorite type of bread is homemade French bread. I am trying to make whole wheat breads for my family. So I would love a copy of the book. A childhood memory with bread- One time I slept over to a friends house. I was the first kid to wake up so I remember my friends mom teaching me how to bake biscuits.
I have wanted to get this book! We bake all our own bread and I am hoping to get a grain mill later thios year so I can mill my own flour.
I love warm sourdough bread slathered with melted butter. Very, very tasty.
