No More Store Bought Bread For Me
Welcome back!
I should have started this sooner. I mean, the idea had been in my head, but until recently the price of a loaf of supermarket bread wasn’t very expensive, and bread-making seemed like a difficult and tedious process. I’m not sure why, as I do my fair share of baking with biscuits, cakes, and whatnot. Why not bread?
Cooking from scratch is something that I am trying to do more and more of. It’s cheaper, healthier and frankly, almost always tastes better — even my boyfriend, who pretty much only “cooks” anything that comes out of a pre-made package, agrees.
So, on to the bread! What I was surprised to learn is that making bread is actually pretty easy. Really, it’s flour, yeast, butter, sugar, salt and milk - nothing fancy at all! You can find different bread recipes all around the web for limitless home-made varieties. And wow, a fresh loaf is so much tastier, we definitely won’t be going back to store-bought. I never realized how bland the supermarket variety is until I made my own!

Hi, Fergie.
Good to hear that you’re getting into (or are already into) making bread.
Truthfully, when you get right down to it, the ingredient list for bread can be even shorter than that: flour + water. Everything else is just to improve the texture and flavour, so feel free to experiment - particularly with the sugar, which American bread has far too much of!
