Well I'm not sure what your question is, but I don't know how to make bread either. I'm sure it would be nicer to know you have done it yourself, but I'm more than happy to just pop to tesco and buy it. Except at the moment as I have given it up! Four days and going strong!! Just!

Say hi to MrsKawa from me :o) - xx

You just need a bowl and an oven ,at it's most basic - apart from ingredients!!!

Here's a very simple bread recipe Kawa; you or Ms. Kawa could try.


Homemade Bread

Ingredients:
* 650g (1lb 7oz) Unbleached Bread Flour
* 10ml (2 tsp) salt
* 5ml (1 tsp) sugar
* 15ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil of choice
* 2 tsp Yeast
* 400ml (14 fl oz) warm water (1 part boiling, 2 parts cold)

Method:
1. In a warm bowl mix flour, salt, sugar and stir in yeast. Add oil

2. Add warm water and mix to soft dough. Knead for 10 min on a warm floured surface.

3. If making loaves, divide evenly between two warmed 450g (1lb) tins (for rolls divide into 50-75g (2-3oz)balls and shape on warm baking sheets.

4. Cover and leave to rise for about 30 min in a warm place, or until dough has doubled in size. 5. Place in middle of a preheated oven at 230�C (450�F, Gas mark 8). Bake for 30-35 min (15 min for rolls). Remove from oven and turn onto wire tray.

For wholemeal bread follow recipe above, using Wholemeal Bread Flour, and add an additional 50ml(2 fl oz) warm water.

That's a great recipe Figure !

However, if you don't want to buy packets of dried yeast and strong bread flour, why don't you just try one of the bread mixes available in the supermarkets ? I find Tesco's crusty white farmhouse loaf really good - all you have to do is add some water, knead it for a little while, leave it to prove (ie let the yeast do its magic) and then bake it in a tin or on a tray.... The hardest bit will be holding back from slicing it as soon as it comes out of the oven !
