White Loaf

I haven't been successful in using my Breville bread machine to bake a decent white loaf.  Plouging through the usual blogs I frequent, I chanced upon this entry by Small Small Baker and her journey to find a "perfect" bread to use with her machine.  It didn't take me long to get my gears going to derive at the following:



Bread turns out soft and fluffy.  Thought the taste differs from commercial bread, this is still worth a try.  Here is the recipe from SSB:

Ingredients (500g loaf)
300g bread flour
1 tbsp butter (about 14g)
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp instant yeast
175ml water


Method
1. Lift the tin out of the bread machine, fit the kneader blade then add the measured cold water and butter. Spoon in the flour then add the sugar and salt (make sure the flour covers the liquid completely and add sugar and salt in different corners of the tin). Make a slight dip in the centre of the flour and sprinkle in the yeast.
2. Insert the tin into the bread machine. Shut the lid and set to basic white bread, select size of loaf, and medium crust (I choose light crust). Press start.
3. At the end of the programme, lift the tin out of the machine. Loosen the bread with a plastic spatula then turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool.
