So, I went with a basic white bread for loaf number 2 - I wanted to see how the recipe changes would stack up to the changes I made in the previous loaf. I used the first recipe in the book on page 24 except I reduced the water (I didn't reduce the yeast like I had in the previous loaf because it already called for a smaller amount). And I have good news everyone - it was great! The loaf turned out great! It was a bit lopsided (as you can see in the picture to the right) but it was soft and tasty and a decent loaf of white bread, if I do say so myself. It was nice with just a little butter and also with a little butter and honey.
To be honest, I may never make this loaf again unless requested, because I don't eat a lot of plain white bread, but it's nice to have one that I know turns out good in case I want to give one away. Now I need to start making a list of the other ones I want to test. I have had a couple suggestions - and I even found a coffee loaf (yeah, that's right, there is brewed coffee right in the bread - weird eh?) that I am going to have to try now that I know it exists. And if you have any suggestions, I will make it for you. And if the loaf you suggest turns out good and you live nearby you might just get a gift out of it - so make suggestions!! Even if you think it might not exist, I will find the closest I can (but seriously, there is coffee bread so whatever you want probably does exist).
