Huge Alton fan! This recipe makes darn good bread. The only issue I have is kneading the dough on medium speed and boosting the speed if the dough climbs up the hook. The kitchenaid mixers are very clear about NOT going over speed 2 while using the dough hook. I've made this bread several times with excellent results using the slower speed. Other than that, it's a great episode!
@xtanerz your thinking of water milk and any other liquid.. a pints a pints the world around only works on liquids not solids or gels... watch a few more eps before you comment
You don't measure flours by the cup because you're never sure how packed they are. Try it, sift flour into a cup and level it then weigh the result. Now scoop a cup from the pack and level it, then weigh that; significant difference and, the difference becomes greater the larger the amounts you are working with.
Love the smell of bread in the oven. Be sure to let your bread cool on something that lets the extra moister escape from the bottom like well a cooling rack.
It's so sad that good eats is cancelled.... WAHHHHH :'(

the bread slicer at 8:40 that the fact thing talks about is like a safety knife but not that sharp

How many cups are in a pound of flour (as measured by the regular spoon in a cup then level method)?
