@shumi77 you can make amazing bread dough using just your hands and sometimes simple tools. :-)

I'd expect to see loaves with more rise.

Usually I allow the yeast/water/sugar mix a few minutes to start to grow.

I usually start with water in the mid-90 deg F to be sure to not kill the yeast.

Perhaps the bread just needed more time to rise in the bread pan.

Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape each half into a loaf, and place in greased 8 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 ½-inch baking pans. Cover. Let rise in warm place, free from draft, about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.

Bake at 400 F for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire racks.

Continuing on Speed 2, add remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, and mix about 2 minutes, or until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl. Knead on Speed 2 about 2 minutes longer, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Dough will be slightly stick to the touch.

Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover. Let rise in warm place, free from draft, about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.

Place milk, sugar, salt, and butter in small saucepan. Heat over low heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to lukewarm.

Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed mixer bowl. Add lukewarm milk mixture and 4 ½ cups flour. Attach bowl and dough hook to mixer. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about 1 minute.

[vassilischr]

½ cup low-fat milk

3 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons salt

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

2 packages active dry yeast

1 ½ cups warm water (105 F to 115 F)

5-6 cups all-purpose flour

My daughter said that "It's very yeasty". I agree, it's very yeasty. My other daughter says, "It's good yeast" Tell me what you think.

[LocustsAreSwarming]

okay, heres where you are going wrong DISSOLVE means "To become fluid; to be melted; to be liquefied. " you can dissolve salt into water to make a soloution, thats because the sodium becomes a positive ion and the chloride becomes a negative ion and they are in an aqueous state, when you put yeast into water you make a mixture, i'm not saying you're wrong. what i am saying is that yeast will never "dissolve" in water, you can mix it with water which will make the yeast work better, not dissolve

I got this info from Danstar, the makers of dry beer brewing yeast. I think they know what they are talking about. Dry yeast are in a state of suspension, not dead, but not really alive either

hi.... could you please tell me which kitchen aid model are you using to make the bread dough?? I was planning to buy one, but just wanted to know whether a 300W motor will be enough to make good bread dough
