April 13th Photo-A-Day BROWN!!
My streak of Photo-A-Day still going strong! Since March 1st. I pick between several different Challenges that are posted on Pinterest. I pick and choose so suit my whim. HA!

Along with my bread recipe!! How pretty is this bread!?!? The taste and the smell is even better! Ohhh but so pretty!! Crunchy BROWN crust and tender inside. YUM!!

Second important item to have is heavy Dutch Oven. I grabbed mine at Walmart under $40 and it’s RED!!! It’s also already well loved! Day one mix the following: 3 cups All purpose flour ½ tsp Instant yeast 3 tsp garlic powder NOT the salted kind. This is just an addition I make because I love garlic bread. You can even add more if you are looking for stronger garlic flavor.…
