I really enjoy baking bread at home, but the truth is that, being practical as I am, I tend to look for uncomplicated recipes since bread can require a lot of time.

I love that Loreto, author of Sabores de Colores, surprises me with her creations using the smoker. Why? Because we often stick with the idea that the smoker is for smoking salmon and maybe another fish... and we don’t go any further.
