2. We used to have an Italian bakery in my town, but the owners retired.

None of their children wanted to carry on the family tradition. There are some bakeries in the metropolitan area I live in, but they are far away. I take a medication that doesn't allow for soybean oil, so I make my own bread now. It's not hard and it is delicious. I learned from this cookbook, The United States of Bread by Adrienne Kane. She makes the process easy. I love to knead my bread by hand, but she tells you how to use a dough hook. All you need is a good mixer and some loaf pans. Maybe if you can't find a good bakery nearby, try making your own!
