For my birthday,\u00a0I got a new KitchenAid Mixer and this is my favorite bread making recipe. It is rather easy and\u00a0yummy.<\/p>\n
Mix the sugar, yeast, and lukewarm water in a large bowl.<\/p>\n
Look for the yeast to start blooming as it rises to the top of the water.<\/p>\n
Add the salt and start mixing all four cups of flower into the yeast and water. The\u00a0dough should be stiff enough to temporarily hold the indent from a finger poke.<\/p>\n
Spray the bread-pan or Pyrex bowl with the cooking spray. place the dough into the pan or bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let this rise for at least one hour in a warm place. The dough should double in size.<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 425\u00baF. Bake to the beard for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375\u00baF. Bake for another 15 to 17 minutes or until the loaves have a golden brown crust.<\/p>\n
Let the loaves cool on a wire rack for at least 10 min. Cut it up and enjoy.<\/p>\n
