Hi!

I’m Bread Maiden.  I live in Virginia with my husband, Mr. Bread Maiden, and two sons, the Little Bread Dudes.

I like to bake bread.  I also make things to put on bread, or use in bread.  My constraints on the bread theme are flexible.

I promise that every recipe you see on here is one I have personally made, and documented the process myself.  Thus far I haven’t received anything free or been remunerated in any way, because this is my blog and I like being able to express myself as I please.

If you have any comments or want to point out a typo or two, please do!

Also, since you’re here, I’ll share my personal favorite posts:
