Do you have a favourite bread? Are you a fan of sourdough? Do you prefer white or wholemeal bread? Which kinds of grains do you prefer? If you bake your own bread I would love to know what types of bread you make!
Its really very easy indeed to make a basic bread. Nothing to fear. Unlike a cake you can open the oven towards the end of cooking to check and it won't collapse! I always make bread by hand but I know that a lot of people use the dough hook on a stand mixer. I use dried instant yeast usually. Its pretty foolproof. One thing that is great about making bread is that aside from a bit of kneading it doesn't require much labour (about 15 mins of your for the most for a basic loaf) the rest of the time it looks after itself.I really have to get off of my bottom and try baking bread. I am afraid to try.
Ok! You have convinced me to try. I have @Elawin's recipe saved to my favorites and a couple of other recipes for beginners that I found on line. I will get the ingredients but will wait for George to travel before actually trying to bake bread.
Once I get the hang of basic bread I will want to try Sourdough. Talk about getting ambitious.
