Basic bread recipe?

[wobbegong]

I was making a pizza base, for which the prices have recently gone stratospheric. Used to be something like 2 for 50p and are now £1, and they go dry quickly in the fridge. They don't take long to make, although I didn't give mine much time to rise when I made one yesterday and the result wasn't fluffy. Wasn't ill though, so a result. Takes almost as long to walk to the shops.



Bread next.

Thin, plain naan bread makes an excellent pizza base (our local Asian shop sell packs of three bigger-than-a-dinner-plate sized ones for about £1.50).

I prefer mass over volume too as it's easier to measure, and definitely want unit consistency, not a mixture of pounds, grammes and cups. Anyone got a link?

You do need to be careful typing one cup into google at work though.

Made a small loaf. Hot, soft and fluffy inside and crusty on the outside. Tasted pretty good, despite my using 52p/1.5kg flour. I had it with some meat slices and finished with jam.

Cost:
5p Flour (150g, or 1/10th packet)
10p Leccie (guess, 3/4 hour on lowish leccie setting)
5p Butter, jam (small amount)
10p Meat
30p Total

I also made some cake mix the other day, but didn't cook it.
