Natural Yeast DONUTS!
Is it donut or doughnut? Well, I'm pretty sure the deliciousness of donuts deserves two names anyway. One of the best things about baking with natural yeast (or sourdough, or wild yeast -- they're all the same thing) is that the dough does AWESOME when frying!

The Kind Diet: Is eating VEGAN the only way to be truly kind?
