Oh the Basic White Bread! I make rustic breads, wheat breads and more at home, however not so much the basic white bread. I’m not quite sure why, but recently I’ve been making it a lot more and my family loves it! It’s not complicated at all and the freshness cannot compare to what you buy in the store. If you’re new to bread making don’t shy away from this recipe…you’ll be quite pleased with the end result!
