Yeast Bread

This bread recipe has never come out bad, the only time it did come out not so good was when I added no salt to the mix.

Even with a little too much salt, the bread comes out wonderfully!

The last time I tried to make potato bread, it didn't come out like bread at all :( This recipe is a sure thing every time!

I experiment with the amount of salt I have used also, 1 Tablespoon of salt was too much, and no salt made the bread taste like a heavy malt beer.

What You Need:

3 Cups flour + 1/4 cup

2 Tablespoons Sugar

1 Teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoons butter + a little for greasing the bread pan

1 1/8 Cup warm water

1 1/2 Teaspoon dry active yeast (almost an entire package)

Dissolve the yeast in the water, and mix well.

Mix together the flour, salt, sugar, butter, water and yeast.

The texture of the dough is elastic enough to roughly pull apart, but still sticky enough that once you are done kneading it, it will stick to your hands.

Let the mixture rise for 2 hours with a towel over the bowl in a warm place, punch down a few times if you need to.

Knead the dough on a cutting board or keep in the bowl, I just pick up the dough and mush it around a bit.

Grease the loaf pan with some butter to prevent sticking, add dough to a loaf pan, allow another 2 hours to pass and rise again with a towel covering.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 1 hour, my bread is ready during the last 22 minuets of baking so I remove mine early. Allow bread to cool on a wire rack and eat while it's still hot You know you want to... You can't just let freshly baked bread sit there without being sliced!!
