I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Allan and I am a house husband in Arkansas. I started baking bread several years ago and bake a couple times a week. We almost never buy baked goods.

I am looking forward to trying some of the recipes from this site and also adding my .02 cents worth now and again.

Here are a couple of loves of white bread, My standard sandwich loaf.
