I just made a piece of bun and it tasted better than I hoped for, so I'm very encouraged :)



The bread (or bun) I made consists of flour, sugar, salt, water, olive oil.



I'm not looking for receipes, but rather theories. For example:



how do I make the bread fluffier? more yeast? how long to wait for the yeast to rise? do I need to put oil/lard/butter in the bread, what if I don't? do I have to knead the dough a long time, what if I don't?



If there is an FAQ that covers the above and more, please point me to it. Thanks.


Peter, I forgot who first mentioned thefreshloaf.com on this board but, as a beginner, I really found it helpful. Lesson 1 assumes the reader knows nothing about baking and takes you by the hand, adding something new in each lesson.. If you don't know about it, check it out.
