Breads

Bake Breads today, using Florence's Wonderfully Soft Bread recipe. Indeed it soft though I had make some mistakes, firstly I had added less yeast secondly suppose using warm milk and I use cold milk and I don't have milk powder or coffeemate at home. And yet the bread are still soft although it slightly flat.
