I recently finished reading the Baker’s Daughter by Sarah McCoy. The novel follows Elsie and her family during WWII in Germany. Elsie’s family (at least somewhat) sympathized with the Nazi party (more so, they did what they were told to keep their livelihood).

She focuses on traditional southern cooking, American comfort foods, and a mix of ethnic recipes – it’s my kind of cooking! I had such fun delving into Micha’s recipes. Should I make Peanut Butter Brownie Muddy Muddies or Cloverleaf Rolls ? Or how about Mint Chocolate Pudding Brownie Parfaits or Sausage and Potato Breakfast Casserole ? All were very tempting, but what ultimately drew my eye was Chewy Italian Bread. My whole family LOVES bread. I’ve made lots of different sorts of breads, but this one especially drew my eye bec
