At first a snack

who knew there were so many types of bread? white, whole wheat, multi-grain, rye, dutch crunch, sourdough, flax seed, potato, and the possibilities continue to go on and on. However, though many are delicious, purchasing from leboulanger, bakeries, etc, the best kind I've discovered is HOMEMADE BREAD.

So my mom picked me up from school today, bringing with her a plate of freshly baked bread of course. Having grown up eating this bread all the time, I didn't think much of it until I offered a few to my friends, who then sat there devouring it. Then, I realized, was the bread really THAT good? I sat there pondering the wonders of my mom's bread. What was so good about it?
They were basically just dinner rolls, except she added some dried pork, green onion and cheese. I suppose that gave it that asian twist.

Not only that, my curiosity made me go ask my mother about her recipe. Was this bread healthier than simple white bread? From her response, I realize cooking from home holds more advantages. You decide what you want and can change the ingredients without out ruining the taste. For example, my mom uses milk instead of water to increase the calcium density in her bread and sometimes even puts in flax. Though flax may sound a tad too healthy, I don't even taste it in her bread, when she uses it at least. Anyways, who knew a simple afternoon snack could lead to an entire blogpost, odd.
