my dough was sticking to the sides of my bread machine. I don't know what I did wrong. I wet my finger with oil and rubbed the oil on a long handled spatula to scrape the sides of the mixing bowl. After a couple of times of doing that it eventually went into a non stick ball of dough. What could I have done different? The kneader cycle just turned off. -
Can I use bread machine yeast? If so, how much? -
are you sure this is for a 2lb loaf tin. 940 ml flour is nearly a kilo seems a bit much -
Too thick dark outer

It came out beautifully! Wonderful taste/texture. Exactly what I wanted for everyday bread. This recipe will be replacing my existing one for traditional white bread. -

Thank you so much for this recipe it was perfect. My husband and daughter DO NOT want me buying bread anymore LOL -
This bread is great! The loaf is so soft and not nearly as dense as other recipes I've tried. It makes great toast too like the description says :) This is now my go-to bread recipe, I make it twice a week!

Love it! So quick and easy, and it comes out perfectly in my bread machine. I made no changes. Thanks for the great recipe! -
I had to add just a bit more water because the batter was too dry. But it turned out good.. I didn’t have bread flour so I used all purpose. I Think it would be better if I had used bread flour, but it was tasty, with a very nice texture. No big holes.
