You do not need a bread machine. In fact I gave mine away. I just plain
didn't like it.
Yeast Bread is made of four ingredients
Flour About 2 1/2 cups to 1 cup of water or other liquid
Yeast 1 package to 1 cup of water
Sugar 1 teaspoon or none at all to 1 cup of water
Approximately 3 cup of flour.
Salt to taste. I use 1/2 teaspoon and no more than 1 teaspoon
For example
Italian White bread
1 1/4 cup of water
1 package of yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar ( I use none)
About 3 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Directions:
Place water in large bowl
Add sugar and yeast
1 cup of the flour, Mix well and forget it for a half hour, covered with a
towel
Add as much flour as needed to make a slightly sticky moist dough Between 2
to 2 1/2 to 3 cup of flour. Dough should be easy to work with hands. After
using a wooden spoon to get it started. Now add the salt. Add more flour if
needed. Let dough rest for 5 minutes in greased bowl. Now add a little
shortening to hand and need dough until smooth. It takes about 5 to 10
minutes.

Subject: [CnD] questions about bread
Hi again,
So, one thing that I've been suggested was that I should at some time
learn
to bake bread, even if it's just simple white bread. However, again, not
having done that before, I do have questions.
I know people have mentioned that I need a bread machine. What kind do I
need, and is that the only way to do it? Someone told me it could get
somewhat messy if I'm not careful, which is why I'd want the machine.
Also, do I need some kind of special mixer other than just my little
electric mixer for mixing the dough?
I'm totally willing to try but don't think I have the right tools.
Thanks again.
Will
