THE EASIEST (NON-MACHINE) WHITE BREAD IN THE WORLD
I got this recipe from Delia Smith's 'How to cook: book one'. It makes a tasty, chewy, crusty bread. Like bread used to be!!! And it couldn't be easier - just sieve the dry ingredients & add water! Give yourself a big bowl so that when you sieve the flour it's exposed to as much air as possible. Enjoy!
