I was bored this afternoon so i decided to TRY and make my own bread....i followed this recipe How to make white bread - Bread - Bread - from Delia Online and its turned out delicious, never ever made it before, i'm well chuffed with how its turned out

i was told it was hard to make your own bread but it isnt at all

best thing about it was Cashy, i didnt have to go out and buy the stuff to make it, reece made pizza at school a couple of weeks ago so i already had the strong flour and the yeast in.....i didnt know you put sugar in bread either

Congratulations on having success at your 1st attempt.
I used to make it the hard way as you have but due to arthritic shoulders I let a bread machine do the hard work now.
All that kneading is a good workout to prevent 'bingo wings' - I hope you keep it up

There was no need to get so personal about Shaz. I think the bingo wings suit her

(I hope she doesn't have bingo wings or I will be getting a slap on Saturday)

I said 'prevent' not 'cure'

i could only use one arm to beat the dough Margaret, so it took slightly longer than it normally would, looks like i will always have one arm firmer than the other

I know the feeling Shaz, my right arm gets a lot more exercise than is healthy
