The feel of the dough as I knead it, the smell of it cooking (when my nose is working anyway) and of course, the finished product. If it weren't for fresh bread I might even be losing weight!
Hot bread, butter (the real deal!) and local honey makes a treat that my mouth just waters for.

baking too!
