Easy bread

Like many young couples who are starting a family, money is not always on our side... So we do things to help save. We share a car, I don't currently have a job so most days Zach has it, and it works great.

Today however we were all out of bread, and I really wanted a sandwich! For those of you who don't know I'm 7 months pregnant, so me walking to the store on a 90+ degree day just isn't going to happen! So I went on a quest to find a bread recipe, that I had all the ingredients for. I'm not an experienced bread maker in the least so when I found one that was called: "Super Easy Bread for Beginners" I knew this would be a winner! I found this recipe at:
http://breadbaking.about.com/od/yeastbreads/r/1loafbread.htm

First off the things I had to change: I didn't have white sugar, so I used brown sugar, currently from what I've found it works just the same. I also don't own shortening, but I found that equal parts butter works (if it's a higher quantity of butter reduce the salt.)

Now the big question, how did it taste? We thought it was great! Don't get me wrong, it's not some amazing bread with herbs or cheese or something, but it's fresh bread! It probably cost less then $2.00 to make, and any one can do it. Another great thing about making bread is that you have to kneed it (also means punch it) which is a great way to relive stress!

Would I change it? I think that would defeat the point of this recipe. It is meant to be easy so I would keep it how it is.

Any questions or comments please let me know!
