  Very good basic bread recipe. Easy to add whatever flavour takes your fancy. Sharrazan - yes I usually make it into two loaves and freeze one of them. Just as good out of the freezer. Make sure you wrap it really well.

  This is great bread! I changed the recipe a little after reading the comments. 200ml of warm water & 100ml skimmed milk. I didn't add the salt to the flour. Instead make a well in the flour add the warm water, milk & oil. Then add the salt, yeast & 2 tbsp sugar into the water, stir to make milky liquid and allow to stand for 5 min or so to let the yeast react. then mix in the four and continue as normal. Oh I didn't score the top of the bread after reading others found it made the loaf sag. So good, the family eat the whole loaf in one go with some home made potato soup.

  OH I made a mistake in my previous comment! Don't put 2 tbsp of sugar in your mix, its just 1 tsp of sugar. Sorry if anyone ended up with a CAKE!

  A really good recipe but if you put in to much oil it will be a bit soggy. Also use blood temperature water for the yeast to work properly.

  I am amazed - I followed the recipe and ended up with a delicious loaf of bread - something I have never achieved before. My other half is delighted and managed to eat half of it (good going as it is a large loaf) in one sitting! Easy and delicious definitely one to try again!

  My first attempt at bread making by hand, it came out really well - I did half the quantity of salt and will try a second batch with a little sugar in as others have mentioned - I would welcome any suggestions for my next go either white or brown bread.

  Tried this one and was delighted, have stopped buying shop bread and now make all my own. Rolls are great too using same mix. I do add 1 tsp sugar as found this better. Only problem is everyone keeps popping in for a sandwich.

  Fabulous, easy recipe. This is the first time I have ever attempted bread and I was so pleased I took it to family and friends ( thus didn't last long) I will be experimenting with this but wondered if anyone could clarify regarding leaving to prove over night. Do I knock it back then leave for an hour in the morning or does it just prove the once overnight? Any help gratefully recieved

  Great tasting bread, I found that by upping the water by an extra 30ml gave an even lighter bread. No need to buy shop bread anymore. Also great therapy for my arthritic hands!

  Perfect bread recipe. Baked for 25 mins and a perfect finish - slight crush but not too chewy. Family loved it as part of boxing day buffet!

  I was very impressed with this, and I decided to put a bit of wholemeal in it, and it worked really well.

  I have never made bread before and this was so easy to do, I took the bread out just before 25 mintes and it was a little doughy when you ate it which was just how I like it. It was absolutely gorgeous and vet satisfying to do
