This Summer, I attempted to conquer my aversion to pie dough. Now that it's Fall, I'm contemplating facing another fear: homemade bread.

The recipe for my blueberry pie was double-crusted and called for a vented piece of top crust to cover all the fruit. However, I've always thought lattice-topped pies are the prettiest and opted to cover mine with the crisscrossed pattern instead. How about you?
