I came across this recipe for basic white bread (what the recipe called it), is a nice sandwich bread. Not to crumby and firm pain in taste. But it’s easy and cheap to make. I didn’t take pictures but used the dough from the other loaf to make cinnamon rolls, got ate too quickly.

    not OP but my basic recipe is:

    • 3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
    • 1 tbsp sugar
    • 1 1/4 cups water at skin temperature
    • a few tbsp oil
    • spices (usually dried minced garlic, onion powder, and chili flakes) - kind of whatever you want to add really

    water + sugar + yeast & let it proof for a few minutes. mix it all together & knead for ~10 minutes. rest in a greased bowl until doubled in size & then knead it down again. put a cast iron dutch oven & its lid in the oven & bake at 450F. when the dough is risen again, put the dough in the cast iron pot, score the top of the dough (razor blade works really well), then bake for ~35 minutes covered and 10 minutes uncovered (time largely dependent on elevation, I’m at sea level), then pull it out & let it rest (I let it rest in a ziplock bag so the crust softens a bit) for an hour.

    tasty bread every time

      A good way to handle baking times (and variable ovens) is to buy a thermometer and check the bread’s internal temperature. When it hits 190°F, it’s ready to come out of the oven.
