When we make bread at home we get very excited. The smell brings together my children and grand children, and they look for the butter or the cream cheese to eat the bread I make. The only problem of making bread at home is that it won't last long.
Bread made at home is better than the one we buy in the shops, but of course, you have to do some work. Nowdays people don't have much time to cook. My bread is delicious and I always add a special touch.
With the same dough I made two kinds of bread, one filled with raisins and peanuts, and the other is a round bread with less sugar that can be filled with jam. When I make bread I prepare enogh dough so that I can make bread to keep it for many days. When the bread is cold I place it in a plastic bag and leave there. It can last 5 days outside the freeze, but you can freeze it too like the english people do.
