Notes
NOTE: Homemade bread can only sit out on your counter for a couple of days. After that it needs to be refrigerated because it has no preservatives and will get moldy more quickly.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.
