the recipe that started everything

bread.

if you know me, then you will know how much i love bread. la la la la laaaaa! haha! today, i would like to share with you guys, the recipe that changed and started everything for me. before i tried this one out, i was always intimidated with everything concerning bread. the yeast, the kneading, the proofing...everythinglah! one day, i found this site, allrecipes.com and out of curiousity searched for the most rated easiest bread recipe. (that's how afraid i was with bread making).

anyhoo, i found this recipe called the unbelievable rolls...and the rest, as how the famous saying goes, is history!



*ehem* please excuse the irregular size (first time maaah) of the rolls and also the photo quality...this was taken in 2007, i think...waaaay before i had any interest in photography.

i think everyone who has had any kind of reservation about making bread, should at least give this recipe a try...because i guarantee that your opinion will change and bread making will take a whole new meaning for you.

ingredients:

180ml milk
