Hi from Madrid

Hi All!

I'm new to bread making and it's driving me insane! EVERY time I try to make any kind of bread, I can't get past the first stage! I put flour in a bowl (have tried about 10 different flours so far), then dried yeast (have tried putting this into the water too), then in with the water....and every time my dough is just a solid block, unable to kneed it or anything :(

What am I doing wrong? It never happens to Paul Hollywood!
