Passionate Baking: French Bread

Why passionate, you ask? Well that is because I was very excited about this month’s challenge (more so, because I had to miss the last one). I signed up for an Online Baking Session that was being hosted by Bread Chick of The Sour Dough. The only problem being that it was to be held […]
