Making bread sounds easy, dump everything in a mixer or a bread maker and wait for magic to happen. Well, trust me, it is not. I have made bread so hard and I am sure the car will be dented if I threw at it.
I am not elaborating on the instructions and different methods in bread making here - it will either scare you away or bore you to death.
Here is my bed of roses, sprinkle with sugar and sesame seeds.
