Artisan Bread

I was a bit concerned with the fact that our yeast was old and outdated, and we didn't have the proper loaf pans, but it didn't matter. The kids had a fabulous time and the bread was delicious. We baked eight loaves, most of which went home to the student's families. I have a couple in the classroom freezer to pop in the oven when it's freezing rain outside and we want to make the room warm, cozy and aromatic. Bread is the stuff of life.
