Congratulations jody. Bread is remarkably easy to make. In fact I think it is the easiest baked product to make at home, we just have forgotten that fact because of easy availability of commercially made bread. It is always nice to hear that someone else has learned this basic truth. I make all our bread requirements from sour dough and we never buy bread at all now. Mine lasts for at least 4 days, before it needs to be toasted, but in the Winter it can stay fresh for up to 7 days.

thanks :-)It was actually really easy to make, takes a long time from start to finish but most of that is time spent waiting for it to rise which isnt to bad.So yummy fresh and warm with lots of butter

Why? What don't you like about it? We can give loads of recipes but better if you state whats wrong with what you have so far, and what you are aiming for.

It's fun isn't it, I used to make enough so I could make different sorts a the same time. One of my favourites is apple pinwheels, just roll out into a rectangle after first proofing spread grated apples (after squeezing excess juice out save) with brown sugar & mixed spice, then roll up long ways & cut into thick slices,place in greased baking tray or casserole dish & let proof again, brush tops with juice from grating apples & sprinkle with brown sugar then cook until they look ready. usually last two second after coming out of the oven in this house.

Yummm fresh bread with lots of butter =)
I have a breadmaker, but don't bake the bread in there.Yesterday we made bagels, today we made beer bread and donuts.I didn't like the way the breadmaker baked the bread, and getting it out of the pan was a nightmare, but shaping the dough by hand is still rewarding (and delicious!)

yeah getting the loaf out of my bread maker was ridiculous, you always ended up with 2 big holes in the bottom
