I have NEVER made bread before, and am scared out of my wits to try it. Is it really this easy? I have a KitchenAid mixture, but no hook..will that be OK? REALLY want to try it, but don't want to be bummed when it flops. I have tried lots of your cookie recipes, and they have all been fabulous! Thinking of trying something a little more daring..lol
Sarah, here are two pretty foolproof yeast recipes to start with: John's Easy Yeast Bread, and Blitz Bread. For your first time baking bread I'd REALLY prefer to see you start with one of those, rather than the lemon bread; neither requires a dough hook, and both are good, basic tutorials in baking yeast bread. Good luck! PJH
