BASIC WHITE BREAD FOR BREAD MACHINE ABM
From my bread machine's recipe book, for use with the Basic Medium cycle. I'm also including the specs for bigger capacities but listing the recipe for a 1-lb loaf. My machine requires you to proof the yeast first; some may not so disregard Step 1 if you don't have to proof! (2 1/4 cups AP flour + 6 3/4 tablespoons vital wheat gluten = 2 1/4 cups bread flour) My Medium cycle for a 1-lb loaf takes about 70 minutes, other machines will vary.

Steps:
- If you have to proof the yeast first, proof it in the sugar and water in the bread machine's basin for 10-15 minutes or until foamy; then mix the other ingredients together and pop it in for the Basic Medium or Basic White cycle.
- If not, just throw everything in, hit the Basic Medium or Basic White cycle for a 1-lb capacity, and kick back and let the machine do its work! The 1-lb loaf yields about 10 large slices.
- For 1.5-lb loaf, use 1 cup water, 3 tablespoons oil, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 3 cups bread flour (3 TB vital wheat gluten + 3 cups AP flour) and 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast.
- For 2-lb loaf, use 1 1/3 cups water, 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, 4 cups bread flour (4 TB vital wheat gluten + 4 cups AP flour), and 1 tablespoon active dry yeast.

BASIC BREAD MACHINE BREAD (A B M)
This is a very reliable standard bread machine recipe for a 1 lb loaf. Too many people I know have bread machines but don't use them because they don't know how to do anything but use a mix! This will make a nice soft loaf as is, and it's also a great jumping off point for experimentation. Try varying the types of flour, fat, and sugar. Or try adding things like spices, nuts, mustards, or cheeses. My goal with this recipe is to get people comfortable enough with baking in their bread machines that they'll experiment. (If your machine only makes a 2 lb loaf, simply double all the ingredients.)

Steps:
- Add the ingredients to your bread pan in the order listed.
- Set your machine to 1 lb / white bread.
- Alternatively, set your machine for the dough cycle. When it's finished, take the dough out, shape it into a round loaf, cover, and let rise until doubled. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 30-40 minutes.
- In both cases, cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
- Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Even small changes in the proportions can affect the outcome of your bread.
- If you are using a bread machine for the first time, read the manufacturer's instructions carefully before you begin.
- Pay attention to the temperature of your ingredients. The ideal temperature for water is between 100-110°F (38-43°C).
- Don't overfill the bread pan. The dough should fill the pan no more than 2/3 full.
- Choose the correct bread machine setting for the type of bread you are making.
- Be patient! Bread making takes time. Allow the bread machine to complete the entire cycle before you open the lid.
Conclusion:
With a little practice, you'll be able to make delicious, homemade bread in your bread machine. Experiment with different ingredients and recipes to find your favorites. Bread making is a fun and rewarding experience, and the results are always worth the effort.
