Add roasted garlic, Rosemary, or even Cinn
amon Sugar to make it your favorite specialty bread. All it takes if our amazing "Magic Pot" - Deep Covered Baker or Round Baker to create delicious, warm bread in minutes. And your family will LOVE walking in the door to the scent of fresh bread coming right out of the oven!
