    Homemade Bread

    Would you pay £2 for a small loaf (10 slices) of homemade bread delivered to your door (within Stafford)? White, whole meal, grain or 50/50 to start with. Other types of bread may be added later. Have a bread maker at home which is not used a lot of the time so thinking to utilise it more.
