Bread

Sunday is a good day for baking. Kneading is hard work, but a good mixer can do the work for you! I trust my beloved Kithchenaid mixer. It is stylish and relieable; mixes and kneads without complains.

One of my favorites is Moroccan bread, chevy and flat. Makes a tasty lunch with pinenut and cardamom meatloaf, thick youghurt and hummus.
