Steps:
- Carefully measure 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total) of hot water. Remember, it's a good idea to place the measuring cup at eye level to make sure you have measured exactly.
- Use a cooking thermometer to make sure the temperature of the water is between 115-125 degrees. When water is at the proper temperature, pour into the baking pan.
- Carefully measure and add 2 tablespoons of oil that is at room temperature.
- Carefully measure and add the salt and sugar to the baking pan.
- Measure and add exactly 3 cups of bread flour to the baking pan. Remember to level off the bread flour for an exact measurement.
- Before adding the yeast, use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients.
- Measure (again leveling off) 4 1/2 teaspoons of "Red Start Quick Rise" yeast and carefully pour into the well you made in the flour.
- Carefully snap the baking pan into the breadmaker.
- Repeatedly press the "Select" button until the display reads "5:P".
- Press the "Start/Stop" button and your machine will start making bread.
- After teh EXPRESSBAKE setting bread is baked, use pot holders or oven mits to carefully lift the pan by its handle from the breadmaker.
- Turn the pan upside down onto a cooling rack and gently shake it until the bread comes out. If it sticks, take a rubber spatula, (metal can damage the pan's surface), and carefully go around the sides of the loaf until the bread comes out.
- If the kneading blade comes out with the bread, use a plastic utensil to remove it from the loaf. Remember, it will be hot!
- Allow the bread to cool on the rack for 15 minutes before slicing and enjoying it.
- If you wish to make another loaf of bread right away, please allow the breadmaker to cool down for 10-15 minutes with the cover open and the pan removed.

WHITE BREAD - BREAD MACHINE
Classic simple white bread. Great for sandwiches & makes amazing toast. I have a Cooks model 780-2159 bread maker. This recipe comes more or less right out their instruction manual. Bread mixes are convenient & always seem to work, but are really expensive. I buy my yeast by a pint jar rather than packets. The yeast will keep for years in the fridge. I buy my flour in 12lb size bags at member mega store. Preferably bread or 00 flour than general purpose. Making my purchases this way, I figure this loaf cost about 35 cents.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the quality of your bread. Always use fresh, high-quality flour, water, yeast, and salt.
- Measure your ingredients accurately: This is especially important for yeast and salt. Too much or too little of either can ruin your bread.
- Follow the recipe carefully: Don't skip any steps or try to substitute ingredients unless you know exactly what you're doing.
- Use the right bread machine setting: Most bread machines have a variety of settings, so be sure to choose the one that is right for the type of bread you're making.
- Check the bread while it's baking: If you're not sure if the bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.
- Let the bread cool before slicing it: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
