Easy Bread Making--Part 1 of 2

It's bread, it's easy, but it's not exactly quick.

This technique was developed by Jim Lahey, owner of the Sullivan Street Bakery in Manhattan.

Another cool thing with bread machines.

Take part of the water use it to cover 1.5 cups of raisins. Microwave till raisins are a bit puffy, cool water to needed temp. Put in Machine with rest of water, raisin water will be raisin flavored. When machine mixes it pulverizes the raisins. Oh Boy Good. A friend of mine didn't like raisin bread. I convinced him to try mine? Every time he came over he would ask "any raisin bread". I also use only wheat flour. Another fallacy that you can't.

You use my brand. I have a bread machine, boy is that nice. "Usually making bread accurately is not paramount" Bravo, Bravo. That is so so true. There are so many that think the opposite. I know from experience that exacto mundo finite is false. I like to put the dry ingredients in a big container with a lid. Shake shake, excellent. Bread machines are so much easier and quicker. 2 hours perfect bread. You can even set it all up the night before, set the timer, wa la morning bread
