White Bread

Finally! After years of searching and trying out recipes I found a recipe that I like for White Bread from my bread machine.

1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast

3 1/4 cups bread flour

2 TBS dry milk powder

2 tsp salt

2 TBS white sugar

2 TBS vegetable oil (or softened butter)

1/4 cup instant mashed potato flakes (NOT potato pearls)

1 3/8 cup warm water (If you have a measuring cup with oz 3/8 cup=3 oz)

Directions:

Place ingredients in the pan of bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select White bread. Select 1 lb loaf size, press start!

* You can always use your bread machine as a mixer and select the dough setting. When the machine is done you can then pull the dough out and bake it in a traditional greased, bread pan. Let it rise to double size. You'll be on your own to figure out how hot to bake it and for how long. If you figure it out be sure to comment on this post with your tips!
