bread

Normally we buy 2 loaves of bread at a time because it is always such a pain to start making a sandwich (or spaghetti for Luis) and then realize that there is no bread. So last week I bought 2 loaves of the same brand of bread we always get. The following day, Carolina opened the loaf to eat along with whatever we happened to be having for dinner, and much to my dismay, the bread was kind of stale. It hadn't gone bad yet, but it was definitely not soft like it should be. Frustrating. I didn't want to completely waste the 2 loaves, so we have resorted to using the bread for toast (I even made french toast one morning).

I really wanted to have fresh bread to go along with dinner tonight, and I decided that I would just make some. Unfortunately, I'm not very talented when it comes to bread baking (I can never figure out how long to knead the dough) and I don't think it is going to turn out very well :( Does anyone have an easy bread recipe they would like to share with me for next time?
