Strong flour, yeast, a little fat, some salt, sugar and water is all bread contains. It just takes a little planning and some patience. Since I learned to bake bread in June, I don't think we've bought a loaf of bread from a store. One of our Christmas highlights was a home-baked stollen: even the almond paste (marzipan) for the centre was home-made. It tasted really good! I'm getting the hang of pastry now as well, having made the mince pies (and the mincemeat filling) myself.
