The home made French Bread and Cheesecakes are two of the favorite foods at The Inn at Battle Creek.

While many loaves are baked fresh daily for serving Dinner guests, extra bread is made for French Toast for breakfast guests.

You can also add a little olive oil to the recipe for a pizza dough.

Enjoy!
