Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
When I make this easy sourdough bread, I’m often reminded of my grandmother and her story of her marital breakdown with my grandfather, because she was too proud to admit she didn’t know how to make yeast bread. A recipe arrived on a flour sack shortly thereafter, fortunately, and the marriage was saved.

From TENDING ROSES by Lisa Wingate: “Bread, like a good life, can only be created by honest measure, patience, warmth, and time.” –Grandma Rose
