I used to make bread regularly without a bread maker. I prefer the freeform loaves anyway.
What you will need is basically, some clean bench space, a big bowl for mixing and your hands. And of course an oven and oven tray or bread tin to bake it. I will have a look for some recipes I used and post them later.
It makes it a lot easier if you do have a stand mixer to do the kneading for you (am currently looking into getting one), or a food processor to at least combine the ingredients. But with just a food processor, you'll probably have to do the kneading by hand. This is how I used to do it.
You can also use bread mixes. Most have instructions on how to do it by hand (the water quantity is a little different to make it less sticky s you can knead it. But I much prefer making it from scratch. You can experiment with different flowers, too. I love rye bread...
Home made bread is soooo yummy. It's quite easy and it makes the whole house smell fantastic.
