For several years now, I've been on a quest to make a decent loaf of bread. The desire is definitely there, but my ability to make that happen is usually a combination of fear and failure. Yeast dough sort of frightens me, and my attempts at rolling it out and forming a loaf generally meet with failure. I've had multiple friends share recipes with me, but alas, I just can't seem to get past my issues.
My youngest sister seems to have found success by mixing the dough in her breadmaker, then forming it into a loaf and baking it in a loaf pan. I've tried this before, but the rolling it out and forming a loaf have usually resulted in disaster. However, yesterday, based on some tips from her, I was able to produce the following. It's a good sturdy loaf of bread - nothing soft here. But it tastes good, and it turned out pretty well, all things considered. I even sliced some up to make french toast this morning, and it turned out totally delicious. Of course, I did top it with banana and nutella, so that MAY have had something to do with it.
