It doesn’t matter if it’s our first Thanksgiving or our twenty-first— we all want our relatives to leave our Thanksgiving tables happy, stuffed, and – yes – at least a little impressed by our cooking abilities. In our experience, people are always dazzled when you make something from scratch that everybody normally just buys at the store— like bread! Add in some extra holiday-specific flavor and you’ve got a dish everybody will be talking about for years.
