Bread Quote by Eleanor Brown
““There is nothing that is not beautiful about bread. The way it grows, from tiny grains, from bowls on the counter, from yeast blooming in a measuring cup like swampy islands. The way it fills a room, a house, a building, with its inimitable smells, submits to a firmly applied fist and contracts, swells again; the way it stretches and expands upon kneading, the warm, supple feel of it against skin. The sight of a warm roll on a table, the taste-sweet, sour, yeasty on the tongue.””

![“The smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight...

It leaves you filled with one of the world's sweetest smells…” quote by Anonymous](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ed6/anonymous-1_ancient_the-smell-of-good-bread-baking-like-the_874929.jpg)
