That's too bad. My market has a real bakery....made from scratch
stuff. You can see them making it.

I had a neighbor that once worked in the local grocery bakery. When she
would talk about 'proofing' I thought she meant waiting for the yeast to
bubble. Found out what she had been taught to call proofing was in
actuality defrosting. And no, she never make bread at home - in fact, found
out when staying with her children at times, she only had white, fluffy,
mass produced bread in the house.
