Smells of fresh bread...

WOW!   I have my first ever loaf of fresh bread cooling right now. It was a long process but I am sure it was worth every minute. Surprisingly I didn't get near as messy as I usually get when I bake, I only had a bit of flour on my hands and it little bit on my left elbow.  I wish you all could smell this. 
 So I have included a few pictures. First is while it was in the oven... Second is after it was pulled out and I gave it a quick coat of butter.

If this bread tastes even half as good as it smells and looks it will be amazing. It is really hard not to cut into it tonight, well, I might just try a little piece.
I think I will try and find some more recipes for different breads to try.
goodnight all.
