White Bread 101

Easy and consistent bread.

Just follow the directions here, with these slight additions:

1.  When letting dough rise (each time), use oven (turned off, of course) with hot water in a tray below the dough.

2.  Use clear wrap sprayed with oil over bread pan with towel over that for proofing.

3.  Always use a large spoon to fill up the cups of flour and level off with the back edge of a knife.

4.  Soften butter in the microwave for 5-10 seconds.
