4 tsp. vital wheat gluten

Notes

NOTE: Be sure to check your yeast for an expiration date and make sure it hasn't expired!

NOTE: Homemade bread has no preservatives so it needs to be refrigerated after 2 days.

NOTE: all-purpose flour does not contain the necessary gluten to bond the ingredients together as well as bread flour. The bread may turn out crumbly. For best results use bread flour.

NOTE: I recommend using Fleischmann's yeast or bread machine yeast in any yeast bread recipe. Red Star yeast just doesn't work as well.
