If you're on a fat-free diet, this bread's for you. It tastes great plain, with nothing spread on top, or you can use it as a sandwich bread.
Preparation time:
10 minutes
Approximate cycle time:
1 hour
Yield:
1 1/2-pound loaf, 12 slices; 2-pound loaf, 16 slices
1/2 cup yogurt
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon fast-acting yeast
2/3 cup yogurt
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons vital wheat gluten
4 cups bread flour
4 teaspoons fast-acting yeast
1 Place all the ingredients in your bread pan in the order listed.
2 Select the Fast cycle.
3 Open the lid after the machine has kneaded the dough for about five minutes. The dough should be formed into a very soft, sticky ball. If the dough is sticking to the sides or bottom of the pan, you need to add a bit more bread flour. If the dough is crumbly â not in a ball or if the ball appears firm â add more water. Your machine still has kneading time and will work the water into your bread dough. Check on your dough until you are satisfied that a soft, sticky ball has formed.
4 After the machine has completed the baking cycle, remove the pan from the machine and transfer the bread from the pan to a wire rack to cool. If you cut the bread before it has cooled for about an hour, it will look doughy. It must cool completely to allow the structure of the bread to set.
