Crusty White Loaf

Baking cheers me up! Even after a long day at work and spending an hour at fitness class, I still feel like doing some baking. = )

I haven’t baked any bread for a while and I just realized that I had a few pack of bread flour still sitting in the pantry. Hence I decided to bake a basic white loaf. It is a simple type of everyday bread and the steps involved in making this bread are very easy too! Well, here you go…
