This recipe is very important because it is the first thing that me and my mom baked together. One day we were really bored and we got the idea to bake something for the first time. We didn't know what to make so we decided to look for different recipes until we found this recipe.
Combinations in Taste
I really like this recipe because of how the ingredients mix together. I really like how the sugar and the butter mix together to create something really soft. All the ingredients mix together very well to create the bread.
