At home we usually prefer having bread for breakfast. But since we are living in a small village where a bakery doesn't exist, we tend to buy bread in the city and just heat or toast it in the morning. In short, we rarely have freshly baked bread at home. Lately, I have been baking this bread and making little innovations to it. There is no need to knead the dough in this recipe, eliminating the most exhausting and time consuming part of baking bread.

Our family plan is unlimited talk, text and shared 10GB of data among four phone lines. I remind everyone on the plan to turn off cellular data when they're using WI-FI (free internet) so we know for sure we are not using cellular data and that will prevent from overcharges on our bill.
