Does any one know how to make a good yeast bread?!


Question: Here's the best all-around bread recipe I've found, it's from the King Arthur Flour website. Works great in a machine.

Toast & Sandwich Bread

Ah, sandwiches... the centerpiece of any picnic. Here’s a moist, soft bread that’s perfect for anything from pb&j to smoked salmon and capers

2 teaspoons instant yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup lukewarm milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Bread Machine Method (1 1/2-lb. or larger machine): Place all of the ingredients into the pan of your bread machine, program the machine for Basic White Bread (or equivalent), and press Start.

Manual/Mixer/Food Processor Method: In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix for 2 minutes. Switch to the dough hook, and knead for 10 minutes. By hand, knead till you have a smooth, soft dough. Using a processor, process for 90 seconds.

Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover it, and allow it to rise about 1 hour, or till it’s doubled in bulk. Shape the dough into a loaf, and place it in a greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Tent the dough with a proof cover or lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow it to rise for about 1 hour, or until it’s crowned 1 to 2 inches over the rim of the pan.

Bake the bread in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until it tests done (its internal temperature will read 190°F on an instant-read thermometer). Remove the bread from the pan to cool. Yield: 1 loaf, 12 slices.

I have a bread machine but when it is done it still tastes too yeastie so the best way is to make it from scratch from a break cook book. It is well worth it. Cinnamon rolls are the best.
