Homemade Bread

I have recently been doing a lot of research on healthier, more natural foods and have come across a few recipes. One of the recipes Walter found was for homemade bread. If you've ever read the ingredients on the package of a loaf of bread, then you know that you're ingesting more than just oats and grain; there are a lot of preservatives in bread. Since I'm trying to move away from as much processed foods as possible, I was thrilled to find a homemade bread recipe with baking instructions. The instructions are kind of lengthy and in-depth, which is great, but instead of trying to type them out I'm just going to post the ingredients below. You can read the step by step instructions by visiting http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2007/11/04/homemade-bread-cheap-delicious-healthy-and-easier-than-you-think/

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup milk
• 5 teaspoons sugar (or 1 1/2 tablespoons)
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 5 teaspoons butter (or 1 1/2 tablespoons)
• 1 package active dry yeast (you can get yeast near the flour at your local grocery store)
• 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 cups flour (get unbleached white for your first attempt)
• Corn starch or nonstick cooking spray (just to prevent the bread from sticking to the bowl or pan)
  

I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it looks fairly easy and not too intimidating. I hope to try it out in the next week or two, and will try to give an update once I've made some.
