When we were a young family, my mother-in-law gifted me with an galvanized hand-crank bread bucket. She had one that she used each week to turn out loaves of bread and, once I became more interested in bread-baking, she found one and gifted it to me.

Our granddaughter has an egg allergy which has prompted a lot of researching into egg-free baking and cooking.
