This round loaf of plain white bread requires zero skill. I actually baked it in toaster oven, on a standard, round cake pan.

The web page has a printer icon that will print just the recipe on two sheets of paper.
Homemade bread requires actual "bread flour", which is higher in gluten than "all purpose flour", and is capable of holding together through the stress of expanding gas bubbles from the yeast.
My only regret is that, having baked it late this afternoon, I've already consumed fully 1/2 of the loaf.
