Your First Loaf:
HOMESTYLE WHITE BREAD
This style of constructing a dough is known as the plain, direct, or straight dough
method. The majority of the loaves in this book are made in this manner. All of the raw
ingredients are combined at the same time to make a malleable dough ball. Since
bread machine recipes call for a type of yeast that is able to be incorporated into the
dry ingredients without being dissolved first in water, it is a variation of the rapid-mix
method that became popular with electric mixing. This recipe produces a bread that
has an attractive crust, a medium-textured crumb with an appealing cream color, and
a rich flavor and aroma.
