For many of us, bread is one of the staples of a simple pleasure in life. It's something we might take for granted but, when done right, can transform a meal experience.
In terms of learning a skill which can be used on a frequent basis, this is near the top. Once you learn the basics well, it sets you on your way to never having to buy artisanal bread again.
Throughout lockdown we found ourselves turning to homemade goods, taking some time to learn the basics. Bread was one of the most popular options, and it's a skill which is unbelievably useful. Having your own starter kit at home which you created from scratch, and then being able to quickly turn around a beautiful loaf, is a real luxury.
