Homemade Loaf Bread
I have made this so many times, that I think I have perfected it! I have tried a few varieties and I will say that active yeast poofs better than instant yeast and a large 2 lb. loaf pan (yes I bought one) works best too! Oh, and bread flour over all-purpose flour and ofContinue reading “Homemade Loaf Bread”
