Before my problems with wheat manifested, I used to make bread whenever I felt a little...tense. Beating the snot out of the dough was therapy. Nice results, too.
My MiL's white yeast bread recipe was versatile: standard loaf pans, two large braids or circled braids, four small straight or crescent braids or freeform loaves, a couple of braids or freeform loaves and a dozen crescent rolls. Two dozen crescent rolls, yadda. For years my contribution to potlucks was bread, a pretty cutting board, a good knife, a crock of sweet butter. I miss both the making and the eating of bread.
