Day 66: For as long as I've been baking bread (and that's almost half a century), I have given loaves as gifts for numerous occasions, but during the Christmas season, my oven goes into overdrive and for about a week, I make bread daily and deliver it to nearby friends. As part of the tradition, each loaf is wrapped in a cotton towel as part of the gift. The style of towel varies from year to year, sometimes terry, sometimes birdseye, but generally, I choose a plain white fabric. This year's "pain du jour" is sourdough with a slashed crust liberally painted with butter. Is there a person alive who does not appreciate fresh bread?
