Bread-

I have been trying to make my own bread more lately.  I like to know exactly what we are eating.  I am never sure what all those ingredients are in store purchased bread.  Here is one we like for sandwiches.   I raise my yeast with a little bit of sugar and water before i dump it in. then I pull it out of the bread machine, put in bread pan, let it raise again then I cook it for 30 minutes at 350*
