Soft Plain White Loaf

My breadmaker produces 1 kg loaf but I have found that if I use ingredients for a 1 kg loaf, my bread pushes against the lid of the breadmaker. So I only need to use ingredients for 750g but still produces bread that rises over the pan when baked.

All the bread produced from this recipe have been consistently light and fluffy, similar to commercial bread. This recipe for white bread have never failed me and is good for toast or sandwiches.

Ingredients (for 750 g loaf)
310 ml warm water
1½ tsp salt
1½ Tbsp+1 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp lechithin
1 Tbsp+1 tsp milk powder
2¼ tsp surebake yeast (my surebake yeast have bread improver in it)
450gm bread flour


Method
1. Place ingredients into the bread pan according to your breadmaker instructions.
2. Setting : White bread
3. Bread dough will rise to within 1" from top of pan before the baking process begins.
4. Sliced when cooled.


Notes :
1. As temperature here is quite cool, I use warm water to help in the rising process.
2. I use lecithin granules as I find it produces a better loaf.
3. If you cannot find lecithin, use 1 Tbsp oil and reduce water to 295ml.
4. Surebake yeast have bread improver in it. For normal yeast use 1½ tsp+1 tsp bread improver.
5. My loaf usually measures 7" x 5½" x 6"H.
