I'm new to this and didn't want to try something too difficult right off the bat. I was hoping to have some kind of homemade bread for breakfast without a huge time investment, and this turned out to be exactly what I hoped it would be. I didn't have buttermilk, so I used water, apple cider vinegar, and some olive oil. I also threw in some chia seeds, hoping that would make it hold together a little better.

Any tips for other things I should try? I'm not necessarily trying to make it vegan, although it did come out that way.

I've never used olive oil or water before. Good to know it still turns out. I make it in a loaf tin so I can have consistently same sized slices and it fits in to the toaster without having to cut to size. It'll also bake more evenly.

I wish I could get Odlums flour. The company I bought I from now claims to only do wholesale and to a supermarket chain, but they won't get back to me with a supplier whom I can actually find it from. :(
