Making Bread

This week I attempted bread-making.  Yeast cookery has never been one of my strong points and today was no exception!  Although the loaf rose perfectly and looked beautiful I did not like the texture - it wasn't light and fluffy, more dense and almost waxy.  I used fresh yeast so am going to have another go and see if I get better results with easy blend.  However, it makes fantastic toast and I am sure the chickens will enjoy the leftovers!

PS If you use cling film to cover the bowl whilst proving be sure to oil it (doesn't say this in the recipe but I have seen it recommended elsewhere) as my dough stuck to the film and I lost some of it.
