Made with love

I've mentioned my Martha Stewart aspirations in the past and today I was feeling particularly confident in my domestic engineering skills. So skilled that I thought I would try my hand at baking bread. I've always heard that baking bread can be tricky, but I figured if I followed the recipe, "How hard could it be?"
After several hours of kneading and rising, I was blessed with this beauty.
Yes, I'm tooting my own horn, but just keep reading. When Jamie came home for dinner, he was even surprised at what I had done.
Just one little problem....
My beautiful loaf had one huge air bubble in the middle!!!!
If you've ever made homemade bread, please share your story with me. Has this or anything just as funny happened to any of you?
Oh well, better luck next time.

Well, it looks beautiful. I'll call that Melinda cooking lady for you to get an answer. Better yet, maybe Martha S. has a call-in or email in site for expert advice. I want to know who was the first one to laugh about the giant center surprise, you or Jamie?grammie
