National Bread Day

Happy National Bread Day! Today is a good excuse (not that I need one) to charge up my KitchenAid mixer, proof some yeast, and enjoy both the process and the results of making home-made bread. The only challenge? Which kind to make!

A few favorites that are in contention:

• Sweet Yeasted Cardamom Bread

• Icelandic Thunder Bread (no yeast required)

• Swedish Rye Bread
