Remember when bread making was splashed all over the internet in 2020? Well, if you’re anything like me, not everyone caught the bread bug during lockdown.

Shockingly, there are still lots of people who don’t know how to make a loaf like it’s their second language.

But, call it the appeal of an analogue life, a seismic shift happened in my life recently that means I have a sudden craving to knead and wait hours for dough to rise.

Maybe it’s the fact I’m sick of being addicted to scrolling on my phone, or even a natural extension of my recent penchant for doing puzzles (aren’t baking measurements like one big puzzle?).

Whatever it is, I now realise I’m years of experience behind the other bakers in my life. Not to mention, I have none of the equipment.

Of course, that meant I had some research ahead of me. To make sure I was well-stocked for my bread making escape, I asked baker and co-founder of Mini Miss Bread, Jeff Charnock, and scoured the depths of Reddit, for a comprehensive list of the gear I need to get started.
