My dad used to bake bread all the time. Well, we had his recipe that he would use, but he always seemed to modify it slightly.

Well, after he passed, no one was able to make it quite the way he did. I finally got the recipe he used and I tried making it. I used to help him when he made it and he would taste the dough before he was finished. I had that taste stored back in my mind.

Sure enough, I hit upon what he did and was able to replicate it.

So, for me, there is certainly a connection there everytime a bake a loaf... Plus, there is nothing like the smell or taste of freshly baked bread. My wife often asks me to bake some for her.
