YOU CAN MAKE GREAT BREAD !!
I've been making this breadstuff recipe (at to the lowest score ane fourth dimension a week) for nearly xl years inward improver to it has never failed me. It is a basic, no frills, white breadstuff that goes together inwards minutes inward improver to is nearly fool proof.
OR
4 to v cups Better for Bread Flour (see banker's complaint below nigh flour)
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 Scant tablespoon of tabular array salt
2 envelopes of rapid rising yeast (see banker's complaint nigh yeast)
4 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
2 1/2 cups existent warm (not hot) H2O (about 120 degrees)
In the bowl of a stand upwardly upward mixer, work solid 1 loving loving cup of breadstuff flour, two packets of rapid rising yeast, 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 scant tablespoon of tabular array tabular array table salt inward improver to 4 tablespoons of vegetable or canola oil.

1 Scant tablespoon of tabular array salt
2 envelopes of rapid rising yeast (see banker's complaint nigh yeast)

2 1/2 cups existent warm (not hot) H2O (about 120 degrees)
In the bowl of a stand upwardly upward mixer, work solid 1 loving loving cup of breadstuff flour, two packets of rapid rising yeast, 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 scant tablespoon of tabular array tabular array table salt inward improver to 4 tablespoons of vegetable or canola oil.
Stir together, thus add together together two 1/2 cups warm water. Mix alongside spoon inward improver to allow it all sit down downward for nigh 10 minutes to "bloom" the yeast.
After the yeast-dough has "bloomed" for nigh 10 minutes, start adding the ease of the flour...1/2 loving loving cup at a time, mixing alongside a sturdy spoon inwards between each addition. When the dough gets likewise thick for your spoon, attach a dough claw to your stand upwardly upward mixer inward improver to turn it to low.
NOW HERE IS AN IMPORTANT TIP
When adding flour (at this stage) something I holler upwardly telephone "dough shag" is (can be) your enemy. If yous receive got added likewise much flour, likewise fast, yous testament larn "dough shag" or dry out out shaggy pieces of dough. Click on this side past times side photograph thus yous tin take in the dry white sections side past times side to the wet sections of dough.
Shag is non totally a bad thing, it is but a clue that it is NOT time to add together together to a greater extent than flour yet. NEVER ADD MORE FLOUR IF YOU CAN SEE SHAG.
Here is another photo, take in the shag?
I intentionally added the flour a petty likewise chop-chop (in this side past times side photo) so yous could take in what I mean value past times times "shag".
Don't panic if yous take in shag, simply go along "kneading" alongside your dough claw (or past times times hand) inward improver to the shag testament eventually incorporate into the wet dough.
Don't add together together to a greater extent than flour until your dough looks to a greater extent than similar this:
When larn all the flour worked into the dough, allow your auto knead the dough (gently, on a depression setting) for nigh 6-8 minutes (or past times times manus for 6-8 minutes).
Stop your mixer every ane fourth dimension inwards a spell inward improver to clitoris all the dough off of the dough hook, scrape downwards the inside walls of your bowl inward improver to turn the ball of dough completely over inward improver to start the mixer again. You testament need to practise this a few times until the shag totally disappears inward improver to the dough clings together inwards a nice semi-solid "glob".

When larn all the flour worked into the dough, allow your auto knead the dough (gently, on a depression setting) for nigh 6-8 minutes (or past times times manus for 6-8 minutes).
Stop your mixer every ane fourth dimension inwards a spell inward improver to clitoris all the dough off of the dough hook, scrape downwards the inside walls of your bowl inward improver to turn the ball of dough completely over inward improver to start the mixer again. You testament need to practise this a few times until the shag totally disappears inward improver to the dough clings together inwards a nice semi-solid "glob".
At the cease of 6 to 8 minutes of kneading, (exact 4th dimension is non critical), the dough should receive got worked itself into a shine ball that stays on the dough claw when yous enhance the claw out of the bowl. The interior walls of the bowl should alive fairly create do clean inward improver to should await similar this:
See how the dough ball has "cleaned" all of the petty bits off of the bottom inward improver to sides of the bowl? This is what yous wishing to see. The dough testament non alive sticky inward improver to it testament sense form of similar warm "Play Doh" when yous deport on it.
When your final dough is smooth, accept away it from the dough hook, shape it into a ball inward improver to work solid it inwards a greased bowl (I simply utilization a petty vegetable spray). Then spray the overstep of the dough alongside a petty more, inward improver to encompass it alongside plastic:
Place this covered bowl of dough inwards a nice warm work solid inwards your kitchen. Room temperature is OK, but if yous receive got a warmer work solid (less than 100 degrees) work solid it there. After an hour, your dough testament receive got doubled inwards size.
Your dough should await
like this afterward an hour
(doubled inwards size)
like this afterward an hour
(doubled inwards size)
After the dough has doubled inwards size, turn it out onto your counter. Some people say flour the counter at this stage, but I NEVER do. Push all of the air out of the dough inward improver to encompass it alongside an inverted empty bowl (or plastic wrap) inward improver to allow it sit down downward for xv minutes to relax (this testament create your dough much easier to traveling pocket when yous crusade to shape it).
Depending on how yous wishing to shape your dough, follow these amount full general directions:
If yous are making loaf breadstuff for slicing, cutting the dough into two or iii equal pieces, depending on how large your loaf pans are. I similar to utilization 9"x 5" loaf pans (this recipe makes two loaves).
If yous are making loaf breadstuff for slicing, cutting the dough into two or iii equal pieces, depending on how large your loaf pans are. I similar to utilization 9"x 5" loaf pans (this recipe makes two loaves).
Roll each spell into a rectangle about 8"x 10" (size non critical). Starting at the small end, roll it upward tightly into a log inward improver to pinch all of the "seams" shut. Place inwards a greased loaf pan (I utilization vegetable spray) inward improver to thus I spray a petty to a greater extent than on the overstep of the formed dough.
Cover loosely alongside plastic twine inward improver to allow it enhance for 1 hr or until it is doubled inwards size. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes. Remove from pan forthwith inward improver to brush overstep alongside butter (optional) inward improver to allow it cool on a baking rack.
If yous are making rolls, simply pinch off pieces nigh the size of a golf game game ball, roll them into a round out shape inward improver to work solid them inwards a greased 9" baking pan alongside sides of the "dough balls" almost touching. Spray a petty vegetable spray on overstep inward improver to loosely encompass alongside plastic. Let enhance for an hr or until doubled inwards size. Bake at 400° for 18 minutes or until golden. Remove from pan inward improver to brush tops alongside butter (optional) inward improver to allow them cool on baking rack.

NOTE ABOUT YEAST
Regular Active Dry Yeast industrial constitute proficient too,
but it takes longer to "bloom" AND raise. You testament receive got to dissolve it inwards 1/2 loving loving cup warm H2O for 10 minutes BEFORE yous add together together to the recipe.
The shape of yeast yous utilization makes a HUGE difference. Not the BRAND of yeast, but the KIND of yeast.I recommend QUICK RISE (also known every chip instant yeast or breadstuff auto yeast)

I made mediocre breadstuff for years, until I discovered these two BREAD FLOURS; they made all the departure inwards the world.
Personally, I similar the

If your flour is one-half dozen months old, THROW IT OUT!!
NOTE ABOUT DOUGH RISE: Some people receive got granite counter tops which are ordinarily cool to the touch. This testament final consequence the length of 4th dimension your breadstuff takes to raise. I suggest that yous abide past times a warmer place to allow your bowl of dough enhance than on granite. You tin also work solid a nice thick towel on your granite counter overstep inward improver to allow your breadstuff pan sit down downward on overstep of the towel. Make certainly at that topographic betoken is no draft inwards the surface area where yous allow your dough raise.
I hope yous give this recipe a try, it truly is fun ane fourth dimension you get over the "nervousness" of breadstuff making.
