@ccandiegirl Thanks!

This was my 4th and best bread recipe yet! Thanks! My only recommendation is that u definatly add 1 -2 tsp kosher salt..

[nikkomyers]

@franifu1 Good recommendation!

You DO have to put the salt in there, it restricts the growth of Yeast. If you don't put salt in your bread might rupture on the side or might be lighter than you wanted.

How important is it to have that exact type of yeast? I've tried making this bread many times and usually it doesn't rise.  What's the best yeast for this recipe?

[OrganicDrew]

I especially liked the picture of the dog in the bun at the end. could you send me that picture?

[bdd549]

Can you use all purpose flour??

[yatithebeast]

I like the dog in the bun at the end :)

[nikkomyers]

@yatithebeast Funny stuff...

Great video - thank you!

[nikkomyers]

@badjujuwan Glad you liked!

[iThrashNano]

Thank you so much for this. :)

I'm gonna make myself a giant samich!

[timluns]

When I slit the top of my loaf it flattened out. In your video it seemed to maintain its shape? Any advice?

[nikkomyers]

@timluns How long did you let it rise? If it stays too long then it will flatten...

[nishantvshah]

hi nick... is there a difference between this bread dough and pizza dough ? can i use the same dough to make a pizza ???

[nikkomyers]

@nishantvshah Some would say no, but I've done it...

[nishantvshah]

@nikkomyers Thanks Buddy :)

[nishantvshah]

hey.. is it 375 F or 375 degrees C ???

[nikkomyers]

@nishantvshah 375 F

[rayandbren]

The Best Bread I have ever made. Thank you for the recipe and for being so good at showing how to make it. I really appreciate it.

[naplesfairy]

Love the video! I dont have the rapid rise yeast though.. just active dry... would that make a difference?

[spider204]

@Kariryanisabitch. Use 2 and 1/4 teaspoons. That's how much yeast is in a package of yeast.

[kariryanisabitch]

ok how much yeast? i have a jar not a package, so how many teaspoons?

[golddigger0325]

Is it necessarly to wait an hour? I wanna use this recepie for a school cooking thing and we have like 1 h and 40 min :/

[nikkomyers]

With bread you really need to let it rest... There are some recipes out there that don't need resting - look them up...

[slboerum]

You can make quick breads without waiting. It may not be what you're looking for, but it'll work.

[fatboybolanos]

i love it, and i love my bread with a little color on it.

[nikkomyers]

@fatboybolanos Thanks heaps!

[ScienceofSelf]

Good video. Thanks for posting it.

I'm becoming more convinced that industry bread just shouldn't be eaten. Corn syrup and preservatives don't need to be in bread.

[nikkomyers]

@ScienceofSelf There's a lot of good companies who make their bread with all natural things - but more and more I just make my own. I should have the new no knead bread up next week that is very simple and tastes amazing!

[ScienceofSelf]

This is true also, but it pretty much has to be local. Then again, ideally everything we eat probably should be. Here in Maine we have Big Sky Bakery, Rosemont, Borealis, and When Pigs Fly that I can think of. But it's always much cheaper and more rewarding to make your own bread when possible.

I forgot to come back and comment again after, but this worked really well for me. I have a small oven, so I actually broke it up into 4 rolls instead. They were very tastey. Thanks.
