I'm excited to share this simple and easy, four ingredient homemade rustic bread recipe. This recipe comes from one of my husbands favorite patients. We call this recipe Jeff's Bread.

Good thing we worked out every day and walked a lot or I would have gained five pounds!

After coming home, I was craving this yummy dessert and I
