White yeast bread recipe – yum!

Dave’s mum made me a delicious loaf of poppy seed bread last week. It was perfectly round and quite flat, so each slice that was cut was extra long! It only lasted a couple of days, and after going back to ready-sliced shop bought bread it just wasn’t the same. I asked for the recipe […]
