Reply #16: darn, I was just looking for a basic bread recipe using bread flour [View All]

[NMDemDist2]

and all my JoC recipes were for all purpose flour

it seems since I have owned the "beast" i make our bread every week and I need to just get an every day bread recipe

edit to add--- the 700 watt wolfgang Puck Mixer is nicknamed the "beast"

so far my best bread as been a Faux Sourdough

1 package Active dry yeast
2 1/2 cups bread flour (i had unbleached)
1 TBSP dark molasses
1 cup Sour Cream (at room temp)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp lemon juice
4 TBSP warm water

i put the ingredients into my bread maker in the order listed. She said set it for "white bread" but my machine died after the first mix. the dough was still a little sticky and not completely smooth..

so i took it out, kneaded it by hand about 4 more times, placed in an oiled bowl and let it rise. Punched it down and let it rise again then baked it at 350 for about 35-40 minutes. It was beautiful and light and came out great.

but I need a more basic recipe for the days I don't have sour cream

do you have one you could share?
