In the time it took....

In the time it took you to walk to the store to buy a loaf of bread...

you could have prepared 1/18 of the first half of this recipe (not including baking) for your own french bread!  

Now don't you feel like a jerk for buying it at the store?

Didn't think so.
By the way, my mom makes the best bread in the world.  Happy Mother's Day, Mom!
