Got any Bread Recipes?

I want to start making my own bread (never really done it before). Has anyone got an decent recipes for just plain white and brown bread recipes?





No copy and pastes or links either please, I want something that has been tried, tested and reliable.





Thanks in advance :)Got any Bread Recipes?
The only recipe I have is for rolls, which I have probably made a hundred times, but I have never make loaves out of it. The only time I make loaves is from the boxed mixes at Walmart and I use my bread machine.





If you want the roll recipe, just e-mail me and I will get it to you.Got any Bread Recipes?
