"Describe the bread your family ate. The smell, the shape, who baked it."
The bread was round, crusty outside and soft inside. My grandmother baked it every Friday in the outdoor oven. The whole yard smelled wonderful.

"Describe the bread your family ate. The smell, the shape, who baked it."
The bread was dark and large, a whole week on the table. My mother baked it every Tuesday. The smell of fresh bread and flour on her apron.

"Describe the bread your family ate. The smell, the shape, who baked it."
The bread was a great round loaf, baked twice a week in the wood-fired oven. The smell filled the whole cottage — it's what I remember most from my childhood.

"Describe the bread your family ate. The smell, the shape, who baked it."
The bread was big and heavy. The baker came every week with his horse. The whole house smelled of fresh bread and cake all of Tuesday.

"Describe the bread your family ate. The smell, the shape, who baked it."
The bread was dark and heavy, a whole loaf for the week. My father fetched it from the baker — the smell hung in the house all of Sunday.

The bread was made from wheat my father ground himself. Dark, strong, with salt. We ate it with butter and jam — every day the smell was the same.
