In our family, a loaf of homemade bread is synonymous with love. My sister makes it her personal mission to treat us all to a delicious yeasted loaf as often as possible. Her sons have taken up the mantle and diligently tend to their sourdough starters while gifting perfectly crusty loaves to lucky recipients.
I tend to shower my people with cakey, quick bread loaves. However, I’m so completely smitten with the chocolate yeast bread sold by a local baker at our farmers market that I’ve been kneading up my own version. My Valentine reaps the benefits, enjoying a house filled with the aromas of baking bread. He also gets to taste all the experimental loaves.
