Fresh-Start Challenge, Week 1 , Day 5 -- baking day
Finally we get to bake bread! I'd thought about making this Day 2 of the Challenge, because it is so rewarding. But it's a reward that requires an overnight rest and I wanted you to have something delicious on your first day.

On day 2 of the Fresh-Start Challenge, you are already ahead, with Vinaigrette and Chocolate Pudding in the fridge. Cook two meal's worth of pasta, tomato sauce, and green beans and soak beans to cook tomorrow. Also start a broth jar, which will become your go-to source for free vegetable broth.
