This is a decorative bread I think most every baker can make. It's not rocket science. Rocket art maybe. The painting isn't necessarily a "must have", but I loved it with the leaves. I thought it looked very 1974. Yup. That exact year. Random...yes, I know.

Tell me the flowered apron and crocheted doily aren't 1974. I rest my case.

To make the zig zag shaped loaf...
Prepare bread from any three of the
basic bread recipe up to the point that they are formed into loaves (
loaf molding )...raise in the pan as instructed. Then once it has raised over the rim, slide out of the pan onto a counter coated pretty heavily with flour...and sprinkle some on the top as well.

With a metal vegetable copper (I use a crinkle cutter for the leaf shaped ones) hold at an angel and slice ALMOST all the way through...

Repeat in a zig zag pattern across the loaf.

Snazzy huh?...Who says "snazzy"? Wow I am getting really random.

Transfer to a stoneware sheet pan and allow to raise a little longer, about 40 minutes. Preheat your oven the last 10 minutes...400 degrees. Bake 40-45 minutes.
Try to control your excitement. Okay. There you go.

Here's a little known fact, my dear friend Heather made the doily and 1974 apron. She's 25. Not even alive in 1974. How's that for random?
