The SECOND most important secret of making bread:
Add ingredients into the bread pan in the exact order given in the recipe.
This means:
— FIRST, liquid ingredients
— SECOND, dry ingredients
— LAST, yeast
Also, make sure ingredients are at room temperature, unless otherwise
noted (that is, between 75°–85°F or 24°– 30°C). Temperatures too cool
or too high can affect the way the bread rises and bakes.
Last, it’s a good idea to start with fresh ingredients (especially fresh flour
and yeast).
Now, let’s try a simple (but really good) recipe.
