Yeast!

Finally wrote down that bread recipe you've all been waiting for. It's called Farmhouse White Loaf. Got it out of a book.

Ingredients:
4 1/3 cups white flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons rapid rising yeast
1 tablespoon milk powder
1 cup and 2 tablespoons warm water

1 Put the flour into a large bowl, add the butter and rub in with the fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, salt, yeast, and milk powder. Gradually mix in enough warm water to make a soft dough.

2 Knead well on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Put the dough back into the bowl, cover loosely with oiled plastic wrap and leave in a warm place to rise for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.

3 Tip the dough out on to a lightly floured surface, knead well then put into a greased 1 lb or 2 lb loaf tin, depending on the size of the dough.

4 Cover loosely with oiled plastic wrap and leave in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes or until the dough reaches the top of the tin.

5 Remove the plastic wrap, sprinkle with flour and bake in a preheated oven, at 400 degrees, for 30 minutes. Cover loosely with foil after 15 minutes of baking.

6 Noisily devour.
