Baking and relaxing

I find that if I get in the kitchen and make something like bread it is just so relaxing. Today I decided when Paisley went down for a nap that I would go in and make some French Bread which is to be used for tomorrow nights dinner (pizza bread). I hadn't made french bread before figured it was something lengthy I guess. Anyways it was easy peasy. I will definitely be going back to this recipe. I made the French Bread in my Grandma's bowl. It isn't really her bowl but she made bread in one similar so I am calling this one her bowl. It makes me smile. Here is a picture of the bowl. 

So after mixing, kneading, letting rise, I divide the dough in half and start to shape and guess who wakes up. Yep, my sweet baby. So the first loaf is pretty and nicely shaped but the other was haphazardly rolled out, rolled up and thrown on the sheet to rise due to screaming Paisley. So here in the picture of the bread.

 I must say it tastes really good. I am wishing I had some tomato's so that I could make bruschetta. YUM! It will make GREAT pizza bread tomorrow night though so I am excited for that.
