1) Measuring of ingredients.

2) Mixing of ingredients.
3) Manual kneading. Tactical feel. So, sensual!!
4) Rising of dough. Alcohol smell from yeast.
5) Feel of knocking/punching down the dough. Play.
6) Baking the dough. Aromas galore. Fill the room.
7) The “Tease”. Waiting for the bake to cool. Anticipation!!
8) Cutting or Tearing of the Bread. Ohhh! The next level!!!
9) Spreading butter (or your favorite spread). Damn!!!
10) Lift to the nose. Oh, the perfume! Mouth waters.
11) The bite. Crunch!! The mouth feel. Texture. Sound. Aroma. Butter taste and palate coverage.
12) The Chew. Delectable.
13) The Conquest. The swallow.
14) The Fill. Warmth of the stomach.
15) Cleansing with wine or beer.

There is only one thing better in life!!

"It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone... " and it should go without saying, "Wine" some butter & jam or cheese & ham would be nice. Cazalea ...  

Yes, they're still warm and smelling great

The crackly, pretty one for my wife's women's group brunch tomorrow; the boring one for us

Boring or not, they probably all taste about the same!

The cracked one might be slightly dryer, and the boring one might be slightly more moist? Possibly.

Absolutely agree with you dear Mike!!

The crunch of toasted almonds, the sweetness of red grapes, fresh cool crunch of lettuce and the bread (see above) ...  

Thank you for supporting my efforts

Enthusiastic readers are worth more to a writer than whatever money he/she can make. I’ve been writing for 50 years - don’t need to make any money off my writing anymore but I really appreciate your words. Cheers
