FRIENDLY NEIGHBOR BREAD (BREAD MACHINE 1 POUND LOAF)



Friendly Neighbor Bread (Bread Machine 1 Pound Loaf) image

I have had this recipe copied down for years, but have not tried it yet. Someone shared this with me on a message board back in the days of Compuserve. This makes a small 1 pound loaf. The name here seems to imply that you would bake up a loaf to share with a new neighbor. I am guessing at the cook time, as the time will vary depending upon your machine.

BASIC BREAD MACHINE BREAD (A B M)

This is a very reliable standard bread machine recipe for a 1 lb loaf. Too many people I know have bread machines but don't use them because they don't know how to do anything but use a mix! This will make a nice soft loaf as is, and it's also a great jumping off point for experimentation. Try varying the types of flour, fat, and sugar. Or try adding things like spices, nuts, mustards, or cheeses. My goal with this recipe is to get people comfortable enough with baking in their bread machines that they'll experiment. (If your machine only makes a 2 lb loaf, simply double all the ingredients.)

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h5m

Yield 1 loaf, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2/3 cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon sugar or 1 tablespoon honey
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder (optional)
1 teaspoon yeast

Steps:

  • Add the ingredients to your bread pan in the order listed.
  • Set your machine to 1 lb / white bread.
  • Alternatively, set your machine for the dough cycle. When it's finished, take the dough out, shape it into a round loaf, cover, and let rise until doubled. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 30-40 minutes.
  • In both cases, cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Tips:

  • Before starting, ensure your bread machine is clean and the paddle is properly inserted.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • If your dough seems too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If your dough seems too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • When adding ingredients to the bread machine, always add wet ingredients first, followed by dry ingredients.
  • Make sure the yeast is fresh and active. If you're unsure, test it by dissolving it in warm water with a pinch of sugar. If it bubbles after 5-10 minutes, it's good to use.
  • Don't open the bread machine during the baking process, as this can cause the bread to fall.
  • Once the bread is done baking, remove it from the bread machine and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Making bread in a bread machine is a simple and convenient way to enjoy fresh, homemade bread. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a delicious loaf of bread that's perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just eating on its own.
