For some people the scent of baking bread is the quintessential smell of home.
In addition to yeast leavened loaf bread, which is probably most common in Europe and places colonized by Europeans, there are flatbreads and quick breads like pancakes or biscuits, that do not need yeast to rise.
| Quote "[Breadbaking is] one of those almost hypnotic businesses, like a dance from some ancient ceremony. It leaves you filled with one of the world's sweetest smells...there is no chiropractic treatment, no Yoga exercise, no hour of meditation in a music-throbbing chapel. that will leave you emptier of bad thoughts than this homely ceremony of making bread." |
