This recipe should be called the Oh My Gosh Bread! It is the first loaf of bread from my Breadman that I consider perfect. The crust is flaky and delicious. I didn't have either bread flour or bread machine yeast so I used active dry yeast and unbleached flour with no problems. The only mistake I made was starting too late which meant I was eating warm bread at 8:30 PM and had to try to sleep with that wonderful, fresh baked bread aroma floating through the house! I also used the British measurement for the flour as I had already made two loaves from another recipe that were dense and useless. Sure enough, the 3 cups weighed 400 grams. Follow the mixing instructions without fear, it works! 4/23/09, I made this recipe for the third time. It seems to be even more perfect this time! I added an additional 1/2 tsp salt but think I will cut that down to 1/4 tsp. I also used rapid rise yeast. No problem. I don't know why others are having difficulties. All I know is that I weigh my flour by first fluffing it with a whisk each time before I lightly spoon it into the measuring cup. Then I put it in the container for the scale. If it is measured properly it should equal 400gms. Also added an additional tablespoon of sugar. An amazing recipe. Simply amazing.
