It's from https://www.amazon.com/dp/0393057941/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_a_4W7XGAPBPCRP7DYC9GH0 and I just added a light vanilla water and then basic cinnamon sugar to is before rolling it up into the final rise. The whole recipe is like 2 hours start to hot bread out of the oven
This is the book for artisan bread.
However, you may want stuff for other forms of baking. Personally, I’m a big fan of The Bread Bible. It spends a fair amount of time on technique, and also goes into detail about different tools and ingredients.
Sorry to barge in here.. I had that EXACT same problem (not getting great results in my kitchen aid).. turns out I wasn't letting it knead long enough! I got the Bread Bible from the library, and the very first recipe essentially taught me how to make bread - or at least explained where I kept going wrong. Good luck!

Learning new stuff can be difficult because it's easy to skip the basics because there's not a proper tutorial available! So let's start from the very basics in order to build a clear, solid foundation of knowledge to work from! For starters, you have 2 basic ways to make bread:
So yeast is a tiny animal that eats sugar (aka carbs, like flour) & then burps out a bubble. This is what makes bread rise! Stuff is COVERED in yeast! Back in the day, bakers would throw their leftover dough into a bucket, but instead of using the word "leftover" it was called "sour".

They then used the leftover dough, called "sourdough starter", to make the next day's bread (so it's not actually sour-tasting, although you can do things to make it more "sour" if you want!), which added flavor & helped it to rise. Sourdough starter is VERY easy to make at home. It takes less than 2 weeks; all you need is a jar, some flour, and some water!
Eventually, they figured out how to store the yeast so that it could be sold in a granulated format:
I buy my instant yeast from Amazon. I get the one-pound SAF brand:
I keep mine in a freezer Ziploc gallon bag. You can test to see if your instant yeast is still good using this method:
I use both instant yeast & sourdough starter in my baking projects! The discussion gets a little more complicated (active dry yeast vs. instant dry yeast, active sourdough starter vs. discard, etc.). So ultimately, I keep 2 things:
This magical combination enables me to make mini breads, quick breads, dinner rolls, pizza, giant soft pretzels, bagels, English muffins, you name it! It's crazy how the combination of water, salt, flour, and yeast can give you access to literally THOUSANDS of delicious recipes!!
I used to think baking bread was hard, so I never really did it outside of a bread machine, but I had a friend who eased me into it, and now I enjoy it as a daily hobby to feed my family, enjoy learning new stuff, and to give as gifts! Plus I can make REALLY amazing stuff, such as homemade English muffins:
Yummy focaccia:
And unique items you can't really get anywhere, such as Bagel Bread:
I also really love to zone out on TikTok & learn new stuff! For example, here's a cool video about to get a perfectly-cracked quick bread:
There's always fun new stuff to learn & try! For example, here's a starter list of 17 types of bread to check out:
And here's a neat trick for pan-release called Baking Goop:
If you want to bake bread often but can't eat it all, there are lots of ways to upcycle it:
So here are the first questions to answer:
Please don't be depressed.
So, first thing, their is a little contrast happening with the photo, so it already makes it pop, and before the photo, I lightly nudged the flour around on the loaf around the cuts to make it look more appealing. (all for that Instagram/facebook.. gotta brag a little)
For the main event of the bread though, I followed this king Arthur page for help with bread scoring : https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2017/10/20/bread-scoring-techniques
and for the bread, i have been using recipes out of a book called "The Bread Bible" https://www.amazon.com/Bread-Bible-Rose-Levy-Beranbaum/dp/0393057941
It has some great techniques and i haven't made a bad loaf of bread form her recipes.
This is a sourdough recipe from The Bread BibleThe Bread Bible, and I used the same starter and same recipe for all three loaves. The only thing that I changed is the method of kneading. (Also should note that the loaf on the left is significantly smaller because I ran out of starter, so I had to do math to make that loaf, so it's purposely smaller.)
Hand method took a long time and my arms hurt, standing mixed method is what I normally do so that turned out pretty standard. The food processor method was the new one for me when making sourdough, it was fast and easy, but the cleanup was terrible. I didn't want this one to win because I don't like cleaning food processors. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the food processor method undeniably made the chewiest loaf of all with the best whole definition. Either this is how I'm going to make bread going forward, or I need to need my bread longer the other two ways.
Either way, fun day for making bread!
Making your own bread isn't that hard. Get this book and start having fun with it The Bread Bible https://www.amazon.com/dp/0393057941/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_YE5A9H3C3T6A2DW4D54Z
It's from this book but I add an extra egg: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0393057941
> Okay, I think our disagreement, such as it is, is mainly semantic. My point is that talking about morality in terms other than human welfare doesn't make any sense, and that thus the only sensible way I can see to have a discussion about what people 'should' do is to discuss the effects of actions on human welfare.
Indeed, but I think you're making an unnecessary error that will bite you in the ass, when you subsequently use the language of morality. It's something I see all the time. Ok, fine, we've done away with god, but what if god is the universe? Or energy? That sort of thing.
It's really questionable and seems to serve only rhetorical purposes - Christians accuse atheists of having either no morality or of having one they refuse to acknowledge, and people scamper off to their corners to think about how we can refute that. Or my favorite, "god" now means the thing you value most, so your god is human welfare.
Admit it, you're not really an atheist.
If you mean this is a good way to live to ensure welfare, then you're talking about the same thing the city planner is talking about, not the priest. It unnecessarily lends credence to their entire enterprise when you adopt their vocabulary.
If human welfare is something you value and you think there's a way to live life so that you can contribute to it... what needs to be more complicated than that? Why dip your toe even once in a well full of ghosts? Because it too purports to give you rules for getting what you want out of life? So does this, but nobody would call that a moral code. It's just a way to get what you want.
(As an aside, I haven't read it, but I'm assuming it at least tries to tell you how to get laid. If not, substitute this, which tells you how to get good bread. Is there now a morality of bread-baking because using one yeast over another gives you that better thump you want?)
> What do you mean by "better off"? Can something that doesn't exist be better off or worse off than something that does exist? Is it some hedonic calculus that concludes that lives with a sufficiently bad suffering to pleasure ratio were not worth living?
Indeed. If a person reports to me that he'd have preferred not living, that's enough for me. I'm quite certain that if a person's fear of death were switched off and they were given some time in which to contemplate never having existed, most would prefer this.
If we struggle with the idea of comparisons with something that never existed, then let them be snuffed out in the wombs. Certainly a fetus/baby has a measurable welfare - I'm saying most would choose not to go beyond that stage if they weren't terrified into existence by their evolutionary heritage.
I'm not sure but I think you may have been attempting to make bread. If so, please buy this book and read it. It explains everything.

Recipe from Rose Levy Beranbaum's book, "The Bread Bible".
This book is amazing and great for beginners. I just started making breads recently and have come to swear by it.
I got the recipe out of The Bread Bible. I just bought it a week or two ago, its great.
Thanks :)
I used Rose Levy Beranbaum's recipe for butter dipped dinner rolls (From this book: http://www.amazon.com/Bread-Bible-Rose-Levy-Beranbaum/dp/0393057941) Here is an online source for the recipe, not sure if it has been changed at all, as I'm at work and can't compare with my copy: http://www.starchefs.com/chefs/RBeranbaum/html/butter_dipped_r_beranbaum.shtml
More detailed instructions are found in The Bread Bible.
Go buy it now! Bread is more than just a recipe - it's learning solid techniques.
