Sweet Curried Bread Loaf – A Great Combination of Sweet and Savory
I was never a bread lover because I grew up on eating rice with every meal, but moving to Colorado made me appreciate the delicious appeal of bread. I always wanted to try and make my own bread, but I was always very intimidated.
I was gifted a bread making kit and decided to try it out! I developed this Sweet Curried Bread Loaf recipe, so I hope you enjoy it because I definitely devoured it!

THANKS FOR READING
Anyone who has made bread knows how long of a process it can be because you need to wait for the bread to rise and prove. But, there is nothing that tastes better than a fresh homemade loaf of bread! I hope you give this a try because if I can make bread, then I promise you can too, so ENJOY!
