Time 3h15m

Yield 1 2lb loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups water, at about 105 degrees
4 cups flour (a flour with at 4 grams protein per serving is best)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (I use kosher)
2 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast

Steps:

Add to the bread pan in the order yours needs.
For mine it is water first.
Then I add half the flour and the salt followed by the rest of the flour and the yeast on top.
This will run well on the normal, rapid, and delay start cycles.
