Occasional Puzzles - 🍞 Challah if you knead a puzzle

Here at Occasional Puzzles and Starchy Food Products Incorporated, we love to bake. In fact, turning FLOUR into BREAD is one of our favorite pastimes!

Today's Puzzle - 🍞 Challah if you knead a puzzle

Today's puzzle is a word ladder. You start with a pair of words. Take one word, and change a single letter to make another word. Your goal is to keep making one-letter changes until you arrive at the second word. For example, if the words were CAT and DOG, you might do the following:

CAT Β β–ΆΒ  COT Β β–ΆΒ  DOT Β β–ΆΒ  DOG

Remember, each intermediate step must also be a word!

So, using the word ladder rules, can you take some FLOUR and bake it into a loaf of BREAD?
