The smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight..[Breadmaking 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 ofmeditation in a music-throbbing chapel. That will leave you emptier of bad thoughts than this homely ceremony of making bread.
