Hey there, it’s time for a very irregular installment of some of my favorite things!

On a whim, I made a loaf of this bread when we were home between big summer trips. Then I made it three more times that week! Each time it was gobbled up within 24 hours, and by my last bake, I had the recipe memorized. It’s that easy and great for snacking.
