My First Attempt at Baking Bread

Yui: "Yesterday I tried baking bread for the first time, but even though I gathered all the ingredients, I didn't know how long the fermentation should take, so in the end it came out hard." Sora: "That's a shame. But it's impressive that you tried so hard for your first time. Personally, I wouldn't even think of going out early in the morning just to buy ingredients to make bread." Yui: "Actually, I couldn't just throw away the failed bread, so I forced myself to eat all of it." Sora: "Isn't that bad for you? Next time you should properly follow the recipe."
