Not exactly sure what zen is but the smell is probably similar to your bread.

Zen can also refer to a state of calm attentiveness where intuition guides actions instead of conscious effort. For example, someone might describe gardening as a Zen activity because they become absorbed in the rhythm of the tasks and feel one with the plants.

Baking and gardening are both "zen" activities for me.
The recipe uses 6 cups of flour and 5 eggs, and the risen dough sticks out of a 3.5-quart mixing bowl like a muffin top. The smell permeates the entire house, the lanai, and the porch out front for several hours. It's hypnotic. I think people are really missing out on one of the most joyful "simple pleasures" in life, when they use bread machines. There's really nothing quite like kneading dough.
