Baked bread. Didn't burn it.
Yay!
As a child, I read or heard somewhere that hot bread is unhealthful. Even as a kid, this seemed to me to be the most ridiculous of old wives tales so I ate up. Turns out that the belief is somewhat more recent than I'd imagined, only the 1700s. Even the one about buttering a cat's feet when you move to a new home is older than that! (And I believe that one religiously.)
