Bread recipes

Once in danger of becoming a dying art, home-made bread fans have led a rediscovery of the homebaked loaf. If you're after a low-effort loaf, a bread machine can be used, however just once you should try making your own bread by hand.

Because home-made bread is preservative-free, it's best enjoyed fresh - so if you don't manage to devour it straight away, use it in one of our bread and butter pudding recipes.
