Notes
NOTE: Refrigerate after 2-3 days. Since this bread has no preservatives it will get moldy after a few days if left out on your counter.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.
