There is something so comforting about fresh bread. The aroma filling the house. The softness of its texture. The flavour that is delicate but immense. All of these things help make a kitchen a home. This recipe is easy to follow and you don’t need a bread maker to do the job. They just take up space in your cupboard. One of the best things about making your own bread is having the grandchildren or children help. They are always amazed by how it goes. Served with soft butter any way you want. Whether it be a Egg Salad Sandwich, Ultimate Brunch Sausage Sarnie or a simple piece of toast. Everything works when the bread is fresh.
