I am looking for a good bread machine recipe for thru the week when I don't have time to make bread by hand.
The recipes I have tried in the past turn out dry, hard and would work well as doorstops.
All but one, that one looked beautiful, but when I took it out the machine the middle sank in and it looked like a bowl instead of bread!! :0
Thanks to all my farmgirl friends, that can help me with this!! |

This is our bread recipe. It is for white bread and we use just plain white gold medal flour.
1-1/4 C water - put in microwave for 60 seconds to warm it
3 C flour
2 Tblsp sugar
2 Tblsp powder milk
2 Tblsp dried minced onion
1 tsp salt
2 tsp (or one pkg) yeast (we buy yeast in one lb. bulk pkgs. and
put some in a small jar and keep it in the refrigerator -
the rest goes in the freezer til we need to fill the jar again.)
2 Tblsp chopped up margarine.
Put all in breadmaker in that order. It turns out very well for us and tastes great when its toasted. When I take it out of the breadmaker I immediately put it in a plastic bag and twist tie the top of the bag, but I NEVER squeeze the air out of the bag when its warm, or it will seal and shrink up the bread like a canning jar seals up when hot stuff is put in it and sealed. There will be moisture on the inside of the bag after a while but I just pat the sides of the bag so the moisture goes back onto the bread and its then reabsorbed by the bread and it stays softer and moister. Later, when I use the bread, I open the bag and cut the bread as quickly as I can, then get the bag closed so as little air as possible touches the bread because it dries it. Sometimes the last part of the bread does get pretty hard but is still pretty useful as toast, and if it gets too hard, it can be dried in the oven and put into the blender for use as bread crumbs, or if it starts to mold, it goes out to the chickens who are always praying for moldy bread. Sometimes we get clunkers, too, so Good luck, hope it works for you.

Bridgette, are you looking for white or wheat? I have a white one I use all the time.
