Homemade Bread Day
Nothing beats the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through the air. In the early 1900s, women used to bake fresh bread every day as part of their daily routine. Some even made their own yeast! As time went on, if people needed bread they just went to their local bakeries rather than baking the bread themselves.
Today, homemade bread making is extremely rare without a breadmaker machine. This appliance was first released in Japan in 1986. Since then it's popularity has spread worldwide to Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Some breadmakers can also be set to make other things such as pasta dough, jam, or Japanese style rice cakes.
To celebrate Homemade Bread Day, find a recipe for your favorite type of bread and try your hand at some old fashioned homemade bread baking!
This week is American Education Week
