Gorgeous Turmeric Mini Loaves, Baked to Perfection

Now, we have it, it was successful baking.  Time to taste, salad and warm spicy chicken breast were prepared to accompany the turmeric sourdough bread.  It is delicious to go with light broth soup.

Fresh leafy greens from the garden are ready for us.  Every day is a salad day, it can be boring but it is us, love our fresh vegetables.  It won't be a meal if there is no salad.
Fresh salad with light mustard dressing is a perfect garnish for the Turmeric bread.

The first to baking the bread since two years ago and was pleased with the result.

Apparently, the benefit of turmeric for our health is so good. I learnt about it, and it is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.

The family loves the bread, it is soft and yummy.  Our second time to taste this goodie, however, I could not compare to the first one, 'wich one the better one'? simply could not remember.

The Tumeric Bread is not only delicious and good for our health but certainly, I love the Look!
