There is no smell that says home better than that of bread rising and baking. It is an amazing transformation to watch a bit of flour, water, and yeast become a loaf of bread powered by the natural process of leavening.

Bread making is an art that requires practice and patience. But the art can be helped by applying a bit of science. Professional bakers use special ovens to provide the ideal conditions that create the hard crusted but moist breads we love.

You can re-create that baking environment by using a porous, clay baking dish for your bread. The King Arthur Flour Company which sells the special bread baking containers also has a wide range of natural bread-making ingredients to get you started and keep you going.
