Most every skill that you acquire will naturally flow towards independence and value. And food skills are essential to survival! While today we can buy any processed or ready-made food that we need in the grocery store, isn’t it great to be able to do it yourself?

The most basic of ingredients to make your own homemade bread include flour and water.
