There's nothing more simply satisfying, more homey and wholesome, or more basically
beautiful than a loaf of freshly - baked bread.
Once Upon a Chef: This
loaf kept popping up as the # 1 search result when I typed in «best pumpkin bread recipe» and the photos looked SO appealing... alas, although it was a
beautiful color, it was strangely bland and a little dry (it was one of the all butter
loaves, which tended to be more dry
than the oil - based
loaves).
