Simple Homemade Bread

Homemade bread

Last week I wanted to have tuna sandwich for breakfast but unfortunately I was running out of bread so I thought that I'd ask my husband to go and buy it. But then, on second thought..why do I have to trouble myself (my hubby actually) of going out only to buy a loaf of bread when I can bake my own bread ? After all, I've always loved playing with flour, kneading the dough right? So I had decided to bake my own bread. The outcome? I couldn't believe that I actually baked the bread. Really! I use the basic recipe of making a homemade bread. Waaa....next time tak payahla beli roti kat kedai.....hihihi...roti wat sendiri pon sedap dan setanding roti berjenama...apa lagi..insyaAllah di tanggung Halal plak tu.......selamat mencuba!

Pastu lipat2 adunan dan tarik panjang2 lagi dan bantai lagik...mcm orang2 dulu2 tibai kain kat batu bila basuh baju tu ......ulang2 la teknik tu berkali2 sampai dpt rasa mcm dough tu dah lembut)
