This is my first attempt at making bread other than pancakes. I just made a basic white bread for my first try. I think it came out pretty great and it's delicious toasted with butter and my homemade black raspberry jam. I can't wait to try a sourdough next.

Yeah, that's a lot for bread. Basic bread teachnically doesnt need any at all, there's literally a book titled "flour water salt yeast".

I just looked it up and you're right, so then i looked up further - EVEN FLOUR ISN'T A REQUIRED INGREDIENT! AND NEITHER IS WATER!!!

IS BREAD A LIE?!

(Edit - hah a few people here didn't like me pulling back the veil)
