heres my very first (good) loaf of 'made with my own two hands' bread. i attempted it once before but lets just say that attempt wasnt worth photographing. it was great to make and better to eat. i even like the crusts (yes ill admit it, when im looking after kids i chuck my crusts in the chook bucket when there not looking, shh dont tell em) 
i took a pic of the recipe to save writing it out. the recipe is from "the womans weekly new cook book'' (thats the title, its actualy not new at all, mums had this book forever and made so many things from it, its fantastic! i was lucky enough to find my copy at an opp shop for 50c, score!! i love that i can cook up lots of the things i ate throughout my childhood. mmmm)
the first few blured ingredients are 30g compressed yeast, 2 cups warm water, 1/2 teaspn salt, 2 tablespn honey or treacle
i left it to sit and rise a lot longer than the recipe called for as mine hadnt done much in their recomended times.
How lovely! There is nothing better than a hot loaf of bread to comfort you body, soul and home.
