I’ve started making bread because we now live on a fixed income. I use a bread maker, but I may try this on my own. The bread maker is so so easy. And I can really stretch my dollars. Going back to the basics is becoming fun. I have decided not to work anymore and stretch my dollars. Who needs all that junk in the world?

I have a question: I don’t have a loaf pan, can I make it in a round cake pan instead?

Just made this bread after falling in love with the pictures on the website. Couldn’t wait for it to cool but I had it with butter and jam and a big cup of tea, perfect. Thanks for the recipe

Brought back fond memories. It has been so long since I had made bread that I honestly couldn’t remember how to. Easy recipe and I like the Italian bread too.

Just made bread from this recipe today, except I used real bread flour instead of white flour. Turned out GREAT! Thank you so much!

I love this recipe! I’ve been using it for about a year, and the bread comes out perfectly every time. It doesn’t last 24 hours in my house! I will use Olivia’s suggestion about using it for cinnamon raisin bread. Yum!

You can make bread with 4.5 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of yeast, 1.5 tablespoons of oil and 12 ounces of water.

Hmm, I would think mixing the bread ingredients would be tough to do if you’re just using an ordinary spoon. I have an electric hand mixer and not sure if once the ingredients mix the dough would be really thick or something. I don’t mind kneading though. Good post – I’ve been wanting to bake my own bread for quite some time. We buy a healthy brand of bread and even then I’m sure there’s ingredients that aren’t good for you. I’d really want to do a whole wheat loaf with whole wheat flour for sure. Perhaps I should invest in a breadmaker.

Well I just love the pics. I am a visual learner. I will be making bread with my daughter for a school project and have never done this so I really appreciate this illustrated recipe.
I BELIEVE we can do this :)

TO KEEP BREAD FRESH LONGER…
I’ve only used the following trick when I make artisan (read no-knead) bread.

Add one teaspoon white vinegar to the dough. If you’re stickler about exact hydration, remove one teaspoon of water before adding vinegar. Also, after the bread has cooled, wrap it in foil. It will stay fresh for several days.

Another trick…after you place the dough in the oven, give it a quick spray of white vinegar. Half way through the baking process, give it another spray. I don’t know if this has anything to do with making the bread last longer, but it does produce a nice soft but toothsome crust. Again, I’ve only done this with artisan bread.

I read this recipe and wondered about the lack of liquid with the amount of flour…….I have to say it certainly was not a good mix……..I needed to add more milk……..My opinion is this is a awful bread recipe……..

Please understand that I don’t bake — ever! However, this looked so easy that I tried these instructions yesterday and the bread came out beautifully! I even used three teaspoons of sugar instead of five, and substituted confectionary sugar for regular sugar.

Thansk for taking the time to post this. Now I’m on the hunt for other bread receipes!
