Thursday Challenge: Food

Potica Bread (Click picture for larger view)

"Good bread is the most fundamentally satisfying of all foods; and good bread with fresh butter, the greatest of feasts." ~ James Beard (1903-1985)

"Baking bread is one of those almost hypnotic businesses, like a dance from some ancient ceremony. It leaves you filled with one of the world's sweetest smells...there is no chiropractic treatment, no Yoga exercise, no hour of meditation in a music-throbbing chapel, that will leave you emptier of bad thoughts than this homely ceremony of making bread." ~ M. F. K. Fisher, The Art of Eating

I posted this picture last week in a recipe for Potica bread. This week "food" is the topic of Thursday Challenge and this is my favorite bread. You can see more pictures and get the step by step recipe here.
