Whole Wheat Rosemary Garlic Bread Recipe and me

Freshly baked bread was something that the girls enjoy a lot. Bread is Apeksha’s, first love her request is bread in place of cake for her birthday.

The problem at my place is that the family is not willing to wait for the bread to cool. They want it the moment it is out of the oven. Like today hubby is refusing dinner because I said bread after pictures. 😀
