Bread Maker Recipe – Basic White Bread Made Right

May 6, 2009

A staple in the American diet, good ol' white bread from a bread maker can sometimes be a hit or miss affair. Adding the two secret bread maker ingredients can turn an “Um ... the top's okay” into a “what a great loaf of bread!”

This recipe works just fine with the timer, so feel free to set it up before you go to bed. You'll then awaken to the by the warm, toasty smell of fresh bread in the morning.

Ingredients

1 cup water
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
1/4 teaspoon dough conditioner
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
2 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast

Directions

Add the ingredients into the bread maker pan in the order listed. Set the cycle for “white” and the baking control to the desired level. I like “light.”

If you'd like, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of non-fat dehydrated milk after the dough conditioner to enrich the bread. If you'd prefer a little more fiber and a few less simple carbohydrates, try this half-wheat bread maker recipe, instead.

Makes a 1 1/2 pound loaf.
