Here's my favorite bread machine recipe...<br />
<br />
First, they lie. <br />
<br />
All the bread machine advice says to be careful and put the yeast in last in a little hole on top of the dry stuff so it doesn't touch stuff.<br />
<br />
Wrong.<br />
<br />
Get a cup of warm water, 2.25 teaspoons yeast and 2 tablespoons sugar and let the yeast react for 10 minutes in your bread maker.<br />
<br />
Add:<br />
<br />
1/4 cup oil<br />
<br />
3 cups flour (or 2.5 cups flour and .5 cups pancake mix)<br />
<br />
1.5 teaspoons salt<br />
<br />
The key is really letting the yeast work for 10 minutes first and not follow the common advice of putting it on top of the dry stuff.</quote><br />
I'm going to try this. I stopped using my bread maker because it was always hit or miss if my bread came out okay or not. A lot of wasted flour and yeast and other stuff. I mainly make it for my mom. She loves homemade bread. I haven't been making it lately so she buys the french loaves from Walmart. Not great but better than the other sliced bread that tastes horrible. When I first started with the bread maker, she stopped eating that sliced stuff. I was thinking I probably just needed to make bread without the machine. Haven't got around to it yet. But I will now try your recipe, Kurt. Thanks!
