After making my first bread instructable (Peter Reinhart - Lean Bread), I tough it would be a nice idea to post a simpler basic recipe.
In this instructable, I'll explain how to make the most basic bread loaf (imo).
It's a plain white bread; A nice canvas for your creativity.
In my case, I had in mind putting dryed cranberry... but somehow I couldn't find them, so it stayed plain (which is good on his own!).

After that first instructable of yours I already decided, that I definitely should try baking some bread. And now after seeing those golden brown loaves, I really can't procrastinate any longer. To the kitchen! Right this instant!
Let us know how your bread turns out!
Winter time -> colder than normal kitchen -> the dough didn't rise as much as I would have hoped, but I won't let that bother me. Easy to follow instructable with great results!
Just a few more minutes of cooling and I can finally get a bite. Can't wait...
One suggestion for step 11: Make loaves a bit smaller and then wrap cooked Sausage links, cheese, and other goodness in the bread at the third rest period. It makes the best breakfast sandwiches.
