This tip includes a recipe. The tip is for using a bread machine, but still having that "Old-Fashioned" Homemade loaf of bread.
I don't like the thick hard crust the bread machine makes, so I use my favorite recipe for bread and just use the dough cycle. I mix it, let it go through the "knead" cycle, then remove it, place in a greased bowl, turn, cover and let rise until double. Punch it down, shape it into a loaf and place in greased bread pan. Let rise again until it is just a little above the edge of the pan. Preheat oven to 375º and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the pan and immediately wrap it in a heavy towel until cool. Slice and enjoy.
And now for that recipe:
Add in this order to your bread machine: 1 cup warm water, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 Tablespoons sugar, 1 Tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1 Tablespoon yeast, 3 1/4 cups flour. When the "knead" cycle ends, turn the machine off and place the dough in a greased bowl and follow the directions above.
From looking at other recipes, I think it is 1/4. When people send in recipes with the special characters for fractions, our server doesn't translate them right. Sorry about that. Susan from ThriftyFun
