  1. I have recently baked the Carrot Onion Dill Bread and the Cheese Bread. Both were highly successful. I think I am hooked! Going to try the honey wheat and the white breads next. Also going to see if I can barter bread for fresh eggs from the neighbor who has chickens. Thank you for sharing these interesting and easy bread recipes.
