My bread recipe

There's nothing quite like homemade bread fresh from the oven.  The smell, the taste - it really is perfection!  About a month ago, I posted a picture of the two types of breads I make for our household on my facebook page.  I was immediately asked to share my recipes and so here they are!  It's actually the same recipe but one has seeds while the other one doesn't.  My beautiful but fussy 9 year old daughter refuses to eat seeds to I omit them from her loaf.  I also cook hers in a sandwich tin so her sandwiches fit nicely in her school lunchbox.  For everyone else, we just have ours in a normal bread tin.  I hope you enjoy my recipe as much as my family and I do!
