This is my mother’s recipe, I can’t take credit for it. It’s for use with some kind of mixer Kitchenaid or Bosch or similar that will do the kneading for you. I tried to make bread without a mixer, waiting for the yeast to foam and then kneading it myself and failed miserably. With this method, I had success on my first try and now feel like a bread-baking pro. It is utterly delicious and slices beautifully.
