“I played around with basic white bread recipes quite a bit and finally have come up with the perfect soft, fluffy, white bread with air pockets. Maybe a little too soft to slice right away. But if you let it cool a bit, it shouldn't be a problem. Toasted with a little butter and jam, it is a slice of heaven!” - by barbug408

1 cup warm water (105 to115 degrees F/40 to 45 degrees C)

"This recipe is lovely and very easy. I made it last night and it was the very first time I had used my hand me down bread maker. The loaf was a little short but I had accidentally had my maker knead t..." See morehe dough twice so I'm not sure if that was a factor. I will be trying this one again :)"
