Bread machines make having fresh, homemade bread daily a real possibility. Rather than spending hours in your kitchen mixing, kneading, rising, punching down, shaping, rising again, and baking, you can set your bread machine and forget it. The only thing that can make using a bread machine any easier is starting with a bread mix.
Bread machine mixes can be purchased at a number of grocery and specialty stores, but you'll pay for the convenience. These simple mixes of dry ingredients cost more than combining the individual dry ingredients yourself. Quickly assemble a batch or two of the baking mix, seal in jars, and store in a cool place until you're ready to bake. This bread mix makes a classic white sandwich loaf with a dense but light crumb.
Ingredients
For the Mix:
-
3 cups bread flour
-
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
1 tablespoon nonfat dry milk powder
-
1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt
-
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
For Baking:
-
1 1/4 cups water, warm
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
