good quality recipe and bread :) thank you.
I use this recipe as a template. As an experienced baker, I can make numerous modifications with a recipe this basic. To answer some other concerns, it is helpful to start with the yeast and two cups of flour and add the liquid ingredients before you add salt and let sit about ten minutes. This fully activated the yeast and can improve results. To the person whose bread came out doughy, have you confirmed your oven temperature is accurate? Often, home ranges can vary in actual temperature.
This is a five star recipe all the way its a perfect recipe every time and everyone loves it including me!!!

Do you need to let the yeast wake up before you start mixing in the remaining yeast?
