When her website began to grow in popularity\, readers began asking how to make the bread they had heard so much about. Alexandra’s mother acquiesced\, and the recipe got shared\, and has since inspired many who had deemed bread-baking an impossibility to give it a try\, and their results have exceeded expectations. \n\n \nPowered by Eventbrite
