  Made this today after reading all the other comments. Has definately turned out lighter that my previous efforts but still a bit yeasty. I used my bread machine dough programme and then gave it the second rising (never done this before so think this is why lighter). I added a teaspoon of sugar but can anyone help with the yeasty taste?

  NB cutting the cross in the top knocked all the air out! Therefore the loaf was quite shallow and not useful for sandwiches but fine to go with soup

  This is the first time i have ever made bread and i can't believe that i can actually bake bread... Thank you so much, this recipe is amazing... If i wanted to make this into rolls/long baguettes how much will i need to reduce the baking time by? Also how would i make the outside of the loaf crusty? Hope you can help. Jazz

  Made this bread the trad way. Easy recipe, and the dough rose well. Made into a bloomer rather than a round. Delicious eaten hot from the oven with butter.

  Made mine in a loaf tin. Took out after 25 mins and put it back in the oven on its side for another 10 mins which made the sides and base nice and crisp. Lovely recipe, first time I've made bread but will now make it regularly. I'm going to experiment with flour mixes and seeds next time.

  Made this as an accompaniment to a dinner. All guests remarked how lovely it was. Left to rise overnight in fridge and it worked really well. Made life easier to concentrate on dinner the following day.

  Have now used this recipe several times and have a couple of times substituted some of the white flour for wholemeal. Turned out great each time. I used active yeast, once by mistake and it tasted yeasty, so next time I activated the yeast first and it was good. Breadmaker is now put to back of cupboard as this method is so quick and easy

  I am not the one to leave a comment for this kind of things but this recipe is just sooo good that I couldn't help but saying a big thank-you! I do a traditional way, leave a bit more than 1 hour for the first rise and every time bread come out very fluffy and yummy. Highly highly recommended.

  This is definitely best recipe I have used for bread. Suggest that first rise is by volume rather than time although about an hour is good. making more tomorrow morning.

  The best bread recipe I have tried, beats Jamie Olivers hands down. I make mine by hand with warm water and bake in a 2lb loaf tin. Halved the salt 2nd time round. Used Lidls bread flour and yeast so works out around 35p a loaf and tastes better than £1.50 shop bought loaves. Highly recommended. Looking forward to making rolls out of the recipe.

  I make this bread by hand every few days. We haven't bought bread in weeks! I usually let it rise in the fridge overnight and this works brilliantly, you get the 'hard' work out of the way the night before and have fresh bread for breakfast. I haven't found the need to add sugar as others have but it works well with a bit of wholegrain flour in there too and makes an excellent loaf in a tin as well as buns or a round loaf as shown here.

  Havn't tried making the bread but i think it will turn out ok. im going to make the bread into a sort of ploughman style bread by cutting the bread dough in half and putting one half into a circular cake tin and sprinkling cheese and spread pickle onto it and then putting the other stretched half on top and baking. hope it turns out good!

  I made the bread and it turned out great! It was a soggy but that was probably because of the tomato sauce. Overall though-brilliant!

  I have a Bread Machine but find my loaf always comes out heavy, this was just as easy to do and much nicer. The texture was really light, I used half brown and half white flour, dried yeast and did use warm water, no sugar. I used a 2lb loaf tin. The whole family loved it so def will be a regular in my house.
