bread success (finally)

After a few miserable attempts at making basic white sandwich bread, I finally made a loaf that tasted pretty good. I was beginning to think that I couldn't activate yeast and keep it alive.

 

UPDATE: we've been eating this loaf and it's been rather good. the boy and i each had a piece of toast. it smelled wonderful and tasted good too. the girl made a pb&j with it and the boy had a turkey sandwich and both reported that it tasted pretty good. so, i'm pleased. i still think it ended up a little dense and not quite as light and airy as i would prefer.
