Re: Private Hamblin reporting in -- Bread Question

Terry,

Thanks for the help. I didn't see this until to late for my first

loaf. I'm trying another loaf now. The first loaf was edible but

didn't rise that much.

Question -- For the manual dough cycle I should knead it two times

without letting it rise inbetween and then let it rise two times with

nothing inbetween??? I'm not sure I interpreted that part correctly.

I'll figure this out one of these days Thanks for your help.

of bread made with all purpose flour. If I were going to use a bread

machine, I think I'd run it through on the manual dough setting,

putting the ingredients into the pan in the order YOUR machine calls

for them to be added. Then, after the dough is needed, I'd cancel

the setting, and run it through the manual dough setting again, to

knead it further, and then let it rise twice (first time for an hour,

second time for 30 to 45 minutes) and then bake in a 350 degree oven

for 30 to 45 minutes, until the loaf sounds hollow when removed from

the pan and tapped on the bottom.
