Help! I can't find my bread maker recipe book! I don't remember how much flour! Can you give me a basic white bread recipe?

@ragingloli Thank you. But I can’t read British measurements

@Val123
don’t worry. the recipe has metric too.

I got a lot of recipes and links on This Question

If the previous suggestions haven’t worked, you can pretty much tell about the amount of flour by the consistency of the batter. It sounds like you have made bread before, and you know that look—it holds together, isn’t too damp, kneads nicely. I’m guessing that two cups is too little, but you can start with that and then add more. You can rely on yourself and not worry about this—if you can’t find a recipe that works for you. (de-stressing the holiday!)

@skfinkel ; I actually typed out almost the same thing (then deleted it.) I have never used a bread machine and I didn’t know if she could still figure it out without actually getting her hands dirty.

@Judi LOL! Beli’e me, my hands got dirty!!

When I use my bread maker I don’t just throw everything in, turn it on and walk away. I watch if for several of the first revolutions. If it’s too wet, it’ll stick to the sides,and I’ll toss more flower in. Too dry and the machine will start laboring and I add more liquid.

However, in this case it appeared to be perfect first time around (which would be first time ever)! In fact, from the way it was holding together I almost thought it was too dry, but when I poked it I could tell it wasn’t. In fact, it almost felt too wet, but I thought it couldn’t be, because it wasn’t sticking on the sides.

Well, it finished it’s dough cycle and I went to pull the dough out, and OMG!! A sticky, wet, gooey mass! I couldn’t believe it! So I turned it out onto the floured corner and worked flour into it and worked and worked. However, my initial grabbing of the dough was pretty much a super-glue night mare on the hand I grabbed it with! But….oh well.

I think it turned out OK. Fewother things went wrong. First I forgot salt. Second it wasn’t my house, and I couldn’t use my daughter’s the middle rack so used the top rack…and it burned a bit on top. Covered it with foil and stuck it on the bottom rack, which, of course, caused the bottom to cook too quickly. So it wasn’t quite done, but for an intial experiment it went OK
