Our Co Op has gone all posh with an instore baked walnut loaf at £1.85.
Have to say it was rather tasty and more than twice as dense as the
cheaper loaves.

Yes - most supermarkets do those now. At a price - about 1.60 for a
small loaf.

You can bake em for about 75p

Lot less than that in fact.

What I bought yesterday was a sourdough loaf. I don't think
that's your run-of-the-mill loaf for simply knocking up at home.

It is actually if you use a bread machine.

People talk glibly about baking their own bread,

Plenty do it too.

but I've seen the results (and the resultant mess) from some attempts

Some can **** up anything cooking wise.

and, well, you'd much rather buy professionally made bread.

Not if you have even half a clue and use a bread machine.

What I make every 4 days leaves the professionally made bread for dead.

Making some decent bread isn't like knocking up a few fairy cakes!

Its actually even easier to do than that if you use a bread machine.

Just weigh out the 3 components, dry mix, water and yeast
and the machine does all the rest, perfect result every time.

MUCH better than the 'professionally made' **** and MUCH cheaper too.
